This goes back to what I posted earler that he should get a change in camps and really try to improve his cardio because he really does have some great tools to work with. And maybe take some time off to try to fix whatever it is that is wrong with the knee he wraps with about 8 rolls of tape for every fight.

His KOs of Lil Nog and Arona (although, if you believe Arona, he was nearly on his deathbed with the flu, lupus, dum-dum fever, and the shakes) shot him up to the top 5 of the LHW rankings but he has shown next to nothing since then. I'm officially called Sokoudjou a bust. I’ve always been told that lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place but it seems to have done so with “The African Assassin.”

Sokoudjou may not have survived if Minowaman jumped and started g'n'p, but he was fine when it was stopped. I thought that stoppage was definite bullshxt. That was a definite early stoppage.

The guy has been getting beat by anybody not named Sapp or Nortje in every way possiable. Maybe it is time for Sokoudjou to switch camps and see if he can reach his potential in a new setting.

He may have been better off if Mayhem had jumped in the ring. Poor Sokoudjou, every time he seems like he’s tightening up his game something like this happens.

I wasn't impressed with either fighter and I was shocked at how Soukodjou was afraid to pull the trigger. I've always liked watching Sokoudjou and would like him to do well, but this is a serious setback and he has a lot of stuff that needs to be worked on if he ever wants to be a relevant fighter.
