Where was this guy against Machida? He fought Ricardo Arona a couple months after this fight and did the same thing to him, then a year later looked like he’s never been in a fight before, weird stuff.
I hope Sokoudjou doesn’t become another Houston Alexander.
Houston Alexander never beat anybody big really. And Machida is a bad dude. Very hard to fight. He beat BJ Penn, Rich Franklin, and Rameau Sokoudjou. This dude is serious…boring but serious.
wow crazy fight. But he did end up losing to lyoto machida.
Yeah either Big Nog is shite, Lyoto Machida is the best thing since sliced bread, or Soko felt the need to keep up the pride tradition of failing miserably in his first UFC bout.
He’ll make a come back in the UFC it’s just that Machida is that good (future UFC champ). Hope to see more of the above from Soko….
i wonder what would happen if he fought a lion … well, let’s see, if it was the nogueira side, he might last a couple secs – but if it was the machida side, he’d probably get his head ripped off right quick
and don’t worry, this guy ain’t like the other “assassin”
machida is gonna be the lhw champ
niv lol nice
I just think some fighters can come out of the gate really explosive and look unstoppable until someone figures them out. Then it’s time for them to either go home or work to become a real MIXED martial artist. Take a look at the title holders in both Pride and UFC. There isn’t a 1 trick pony among them. BTW, that wasn’t Minotauro, It was his brother.
African magic lmao…
who knows maybe it was fist time ufc jitters, but Machida took him apart on the ground, hopefully he can do better against Kaz

i think cause he was juicing in pride…..just guessing, cause he didnt fight like the same person who koed Arona and Nogieura so easilly
Roids?
I agree with u NIV, he was weak his last fight
I think Sokoudjou is still a good fighter. He lost to Machida, who is 15-0 and has beaten a who’s who of oppnents. Machida is just an amazingly well rounded fighter. I don’t know if Sokoudjou will ever be a 205 pound champ, but he could impact the division.
i was there for this fight he looks like a beast sokoju.The fight against machida was bad cause his style (machida) just confused him to much .Every try he tried to comein he got hit with leg kicks that threw him off balance
he wasnt weak.. he got beat by a better fighter.. machida is a bad ass mother fucker. soo is sokoju and mini nog
Erm…..Smartarse.
That was little Nog……
Wasn’t Sokoudjou out for a really long time (eight months) before he came back to fight Machida?
machida is a up and coming champ if he goes without a loss
I am impressed, don’t get me wrong, but it wasn’t like Sokoudjou proved he had anything other than great power. There is no big show of skill or endurance in 26 seconds. I haven’t watched the Arona fight, though, and all I know is that Soko wins that too, so I might be more impressed if I did watch it.
I don’t want to take anything away from him, but i don’t think this fight puts Soko as high up as some people might. I’m really not surprised that he performed the way he did against Machida with only this other fight to watch.
So what if Soko lost to Machida. Everyone who has fought Machida has lost.
Soko will definately bring it this time around..War Soko!!!
This wasn’t Big Nog. It was the twin brother of the current UFC HW champion. they have the same first name, the middle is different
Machida will never beat RAMPAGE ever
I think they have the almost the same nick names. Big Nog aka Minotauro and Lil’ Nog aka Minotoro. F’ing confusing!
Once again witness the power of the black athlete …
this fight was a shocker. i remember watching this and just my jaw dropping at that k.o. wasn’t expected at all.
but i agree, sokou lost to a VERY good machida, who i think is gonna eat tito’s food next ufc. it was pretty badass though when sokou came out with the predator mask. i was going insane at that point.
machida was a bad match up for him. heck, he’s a bad match up for alot of guys. but i know sokou’s gonna bounce back. who’s he fighting next anyway?
i dunno nothing about this guys real game, kos are skill or luck ? i dunno hey, he still needs to be tested more he got dominated against lyoto and heath the red neck lasted longer against lyoto than this guy did and he isnt good at all
uhhh…. that announcer needs to get off the crack
It looked to me like he threw that left without really aiming and it hit the target.
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA, damn, i wanna hump that announcer just so i can listen to her scream like that in bed.
Hey Puetomachine how about the power of the Hispanic athlete that handed Sokou his lunch? How about those great Russian athlete’s out there?
Nothing has changed since you posted last time, you’re still a racist idiot.
