Don’t get me wrong, I really liked Sokodjou when he first busted on to the Pride scene and I really thought he was gonna be one of the next big names in MMA. However he has since hit a slump and hasn’t looked anywhere near as impressive as of late. I had really considered Babalu to be a heavy favorite going into this fight, but you wouldn’t guess that listening to the commentating.

This comment is going to make me look so silly if I finish posting it, turn the fight back on, and see Sokodjou pounding Babalu in to the mat on his way to a technical knockout victory. In fact that would be just my luck.
