Chael Sonnen says he needs to make changes after dealing with size difference in ‘Rampage’ Jackson fight
Chael Sonnen used to train with the likes of Randy Couture. Back in the old Team Quest days, Sonnen said Couture used to talk to him about how different it was fighting the huge men of the heavyweight division.
Sonnen told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour that he didn’t quite understand those things when Couture told him years ago. But he does now after fighting a 253-pound Quinton Jackson on Saturday night in the first round of the Bellator Heavyweight World Grand Prix tournament in the main event of Bellator 192.
“It was unknown waters for me,” Sonnen said. “I was just out there trying.”
