Rumors have been flying all day regarding the possibility of Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou possibly fighting for the UFC and making his debut at UFC 79.
It appears that there is truth to the rumor and Ryoto Machida will be Sokoudjou’s first opponent on December 29th in Las Vegas. According to Brazillian website Worldfight, the UFC will announce the signing of Sokoudjou and the fight in the next few days.
Here is a rough translation via Google Translate.
One of the best fighters of the Light Heavyweight category at the present time, the Brazilian Lyoto Machida will be the opponent of Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou the debut of camaronês in UFC. Fontes quentÃssimas do World Fight confirmam que a luta será anuncia nos próximos dias. Sources quentÃssimas the World Fight confirm that the fight will be announced in the coming days.
This is a big signing for the UFC is true and only adds depth to an already stacked light heavyweight division.

That’s awsome. Machida is tough and should give Rameau a tough welcoming to the UFC. Rameau fights haven’t lasted that long so we’ll see if he’s in shape. Machida seems to drag fights out the distance so this might change that. Another good signing if it’s true. I can’t believe the UFC let Fedor get away because of some Sambo matches. He won the tournament and didn’t even get a scratch. Should make the end of year show great.
yes,now maybe soko can get the match he wanted with bisbing.But machida aint no slouch he maybe boring but hes tough
he wanted to fight Bisping?? why? lol. Seems like a step down in competition to me..
I AGREE WHY THE FUKE WOULD HE WANNA FIGHT FAGBING
He said he wanted to fight Bisping a while back to shut him up and prove that he isn’t a good 205lb fighter.
Basically said that Bisping was a much overrated light heavyweight and he would like to shut him up
I SEE

Well…. its true as heck.. Bisping is on the payroll with a “perfect” record (asterisk for the Hamill fight) because of the UFC’s interest in setting up shop in England.. and thats it.. lol

funny joke about patrick if it was about me or not
hehe naw Richard, it wasnt about you, that censoring thing pisses me off man! wait.. can you say piss? or does it get bleeped out? soon find out..
i was kinda hoping to see a bunch of PRIDE fighters including Sokoudjou go to EliteXC i think we NEED to have a new PRIDE vs. UFC to argue about, it keeps people interested longer and if all the top guys end up in one org. how long will it take before we have no more questions about who can beat who? oh well bitter/sweet at least we get good fights out of the deal.
LOL BV U CRAZY CANADIAN

Ya i agree RJ, also because even though the UFC has all these guys, they hardly ever have them fight each other!! its always a high ranked fighter against some B level guy or TUF guy. Very rare that they actualy set up the matched we want to see. Maybe like once every 6 months. I usually have my Pride dvds playing in the background, man.. almost every event is STACKED.
Then again Pride also went out of business, UFC keeps making us pay for cheezy cards so they can keep the purses small and the profits up. I think the only solution is as you said, another big org.
