So Chael Sonnen fooled the world into thinking he didn’t know whether Dan Henderson was injured leading up to UFC 151, or he fooled the world into thinking he did. Either way, Greg Jackson can’t hate. “I don’t know if that’s true, but I’d like to think it is,” the trainer today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) in response to Sonnen’s recent claim he had advance notice of his former Team Quest teammate’s knee injury and “set up” Jackson’s pupil, light-heavyweight champ Jon Jones . “I think Chael is very smart, and that would be another testament to that fact,” Jackson said. “I love the guy, and if he did indeed control the situation like that, it shows real tactical brilliance. “He could also just be messing around, which is funny as hell. Who knows? Either way, I wish him the best.” Given Sonnen’s penchant for outrageous claims, it would be ill-advised to take at face value his recent statement, which he gave during a Sunday edition of “UFC Tonight: Fight Edition.” Henderson couldn’t be reached for comment
