I’m very disappointed by the news. I’ve seen this guy train in person and I’ll tell you he is an animal!!!,, I’ve never seen anybody kick so hard. He’s knocking big dudes off the feet. I agree he has a cardio issue but once he gets through that problem he will be unstoppable. Mark my words this guy will be champion one day. If I were his Managers at Quest I’d try to put him up against Babalu at Affliction 2. That’ll be a good fight for him. It’ll definitely put him back on the map. If he loses then I don’t know what’ll be next for him.

While we’re at it, why do so many of you act like it’s the end of a fighter’s career when he gets cut from the UFC? Even Dana White has said that some fighters just need to go join a smaller promotion and get some more experience or wins before coming back into the UFC. Sokoudjou obviously needs some experience to get his game worked out. I have no doubt he’ll be back. And like it or not, he’s clearly getting overpaid. For what he gets paid to give a sloppy performance, we could see several up and coming fighters get paid to put on a good show.

Cane didn’t knock him out, Sokoudjou just passed out from exhaustion.
He has the typical problem of so many young, talented fighters. He blows his wad in the first few minutes going for a quick win. Once you’re tired, it doesn’t matter what your skills are. His aggressive recklessness gave him some quick wins, but won’t work now that everyone knows what to expect from him. He better take this as a wake-up call and learn to pace himself. There’s a reason the UFC doesn’t make a habit of signing fighters with less than 10 pro fights on their resume. I think they only signed him so another promotion didn’t snag him and turn him into a can bashing star.

i too am very saddened by this news, had very high hopes for sok. but he def didnt live up to his hype in the ufc so far. i do think the cut came to soon but live and learn, maybe he gets his game back to where it needs to be and ufc takes him back, i cant fault the ufc for its decision tho, for those who never seen his performance in pride, prolly were very unimpressed with him so far. when he fought in pride he let it all go with no fear, but in ufc he fought way to cautious and telegraphed his strikes. cmon sok u still have fans, take it to the next level and come back stronger. heres to hoping ull be back in ufc 1 day

ok so you don’t agree with someone’s comments so you ban them.Apparently you don’t agree with the first amendment steve, by the way there is more than 1 Robert posting comments here.I guess you’re one of the fans I’m talking about.Do you have a poster of Dana White on your bedroom wall,or is it right on the front door.

well Robert first of all this isn’t a forum, lol. second of all you’re the only stupid one i see here because you can’t control your temper and all you do is whine. i always see you making thoughtless comments, insulting people, and not understanding statistics and logical business moves. if i were Sam Caplan i would ban you from this site, but i suppose he doesn’t even waste his time reading your ignorant and pathetic posts.

OK Brandon so You’re fine with letting go of Sokoudjou and keeping guys like Houston Alexander whose lost 3 in a row the last of which was Eric Shafer,because he makes less money? Do you people know how fuckin stupid and hypocritical you guys who post on these forums are? One minute people say you have to be one of the best fighters if your in the UFC ,but I guess that only applies to their pay rate, because if anyone thinks that guys like Mike Patt,Matt Hamil,Tomasz Drwal,James Irvin,Houston Alexander,Eric Shafer,Stephen Bonnar,and I could go on are better than Sokoudjou then your fuckin stupid.The UFC wasn’t going to go belly up by paying Sokoudjou but could have given people a better match up in the future than Ivan Serati and Tomasz Drwal at UFC 93.People who agree with this decision are hopeless fans who think Dana White is a cool bastard and have no criticism for one move Zuffa makes.Fans like that are a fuckin joke.
