I think a good fight for Sok would be against Wilson Gouveia. They both like to stand and trade but are both capable of fighting on the ground. This fight would also help establish who is for real and who isnt. I think Gouveia would probably win. If Gouveia would have beaten Jardine he could be in the UFC to 10 right now.

I think theyll give him Wilson Gouveia. Hes mostly a BJJ guy,but he'll also likely be willing to trade with Soko,until he gets hurt.
Mainly they just need to give him a guy thats willing to stand and swing. Sokos ground game is pretty non-existent. | Wilsons a striker before BJJ he would be a good matchup but I would go with Gouveia just becasue if he did get into trouble standing he could also take it to the ground. I think this is the best thin gfor Soko right now train nothin but JJ defense for the next 6 months to a year and fill the holes in your game. I think he has good enough takedown d to stop anyone at LHW from takin him down. Alot of people forget he took Machida down and got swept if he wanted the fight to stay standing it would have he still would have lost it just would have been by descion rather than sub.

Machida didnt take him down either he took Machida down and got swept. I yhink Soko has great takedown d and would be a great sprawl and brawler

He's probably learning Karate in the jungle... assuming he listened to Machida.  | |

I really wish we could see Alexander and Soko go at it. That fight was made for the fans.
I am interested in the outcome of this. I hope he fights again soon. I think the UFC is going to need to start having more opportunities for fighters to fight. This upcoming card is anexample of that. When you have top five guys like AA on the undercard it means you arr not doing enough events. If you are not doing enough events you are wasting guys like Soko.
