CorporalClegg Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I like Sokoudjou but his only big wins were the back to back 20 second KO over Rogerio and 2 minute knockout of Arona. He got way hyped up and the UFC gave him a horrible debut fight in the UFC against Machida. His judo was good enough to take Machida down which is nice considering his takedown defense but his cardio is poor and so is his submission defense so it didn't do anything for him. He's still a good fighter he just can't compete with the elite level LHWs unless he clipped them and knocked them out in the first round before he gasses. Getting TKOed by Minowaman was pretty pathetic though I thought he should have been able to handle the much smaller Minowa. I think he will kick Houston Alexanders old **** though but that's not really saying much. If he did happen to lose that fight then it might be time to call it quits because Houston sucks and his 2 decent wins were not near as good as Thierry's 2 great and good wins.

CorporalClegg Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I voted decent he has skills he's just not elite some will say overrated or was never any good because of how much hype he got knocking Rogerio and Arona out in under 2 and a half minutes total. That's just how it is though when nobodies get big wins. I remember after Chuck lost his belt and Houston had all that hype people were actually using MMA math to say that Houston could beat Chuck because he knocked Jardine out in 48 seconds and Chuck couldn't.

Vendur Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 SuckyJew is another mediocre fighter suffering from OBFS. Overrated black fighter syndrome. It's pretty contagious in the UFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorporalClegg Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 when he wore the predator mask with those dreads...... ****ing Awesome! that's all i think of him though. lol yeah maybe that's why I actually like him. I thought it was so great because his dreads made him look like a predator. He works with Hendo I wish things would have turned out a little better for him but cardio and sub defense is just not his thing I guess. He can still always beat up Bob Sapp and Jan Nortje in Japan again though and collect some checks. He should fight Zuluzhino sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is they both already were infected by OBFS, so no contagion issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trinimmaman Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Decent Judo and some serious power in his kicks, but definitely needs to work on his ground game and cardio. Potential to improve, just needs the right camp to make him work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoSasquatch Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 i think he is over rated. i like him, but before, people put him way high up on a pedastal, i remember that he called out shogun, what a disaster that could have been...that being said, he is very young still, and i think if he sheds ssome of that muscle, his cardio would improve, and that would help him in leaps and bounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
