An extremely overrated fighter that seemed to be an unbeatable monster?
Once in a while a fighter like this appears our of nowhere and probably just probably I'm thinking Ngannou has been "cursed" since the beginning to be the new Sokoudjou. Time will tell.
 
Of course. Man cant believe hes had 30+ fights since KOing arona and lil nog already
 
Yeah, until Machida took him to school
 
if i were to invent a new ratio called "best back-to-back-wins divided by skill", Soko wins by a long shot. Forrest may be 2nd (Shogun, Rampage), but whether it's him or anyone else, they are far, far, far down the scale.

in any of the most hyped / 'houston alexander is for real' threads, that name gets criminally under-mentioned. he was considered the Next Big Thing for about 9 days.

and yes - ngannou could definitely fall into that general category if he crashes and burns on Saturday. however to be fair, sokoudjou never beat anyone on par with overeem, so ngannou has already accomplished more.

damn. either you really rate Arona & lil Nog lower than me, or really rate AO higher ;)
 
Rameau has had his brain reorganized too many times to make another run
 
TBH, he only came onto the radar by his upset win at the PRIDE US event, and then the last PRIDE event but Arona was already shot by then.

those were good wins but i say reem trumps them.

that, and ngannou won his title eliminator whereas sokoudjou lost his. so ngannou has the edge there too.
 
I remember Minowa tko’ing him in the superu hulku tournamento


amongst many other failures

Minowa is the fucking man

I mean, Sokou did KO a man who submitted Reem with strikes though.

Complete domination, and there wasn't much for Sokou to look forward to after that

Also lot of folks forget Glover merked him once as well
