+1
Light Heavyweight
[#7] Sokoudjou vs. [#17] Kazuhiro Nakamura
FightMatrix Comments: Kind of disappointed this didn’t make the main card (per Wikipedia). Statistically, these two are hard to get a read on. Nakamura tends to lose decisively against top-notch competition, but win decisively versus the rest. Sokoudjou on the other hand, took the scene by storm with two dominant wins over two Top 10 Light Heavyweights, before putting on an embarrassing performance against Machida. Some would like to say those wins against Nogueira and Arona are flukes, but we’re not foolish enough to dismiss two back-to-back quality wins. Sokoudjou regroups and batters Nakamura for the stoppage. Sokoudjou wins by (T)KO
