| Sokoudjou Vs. Houston Alexander
After seeing Houston Alexander have another impressive first round knockout, I would definitely love to see him fight Sokoudjou. Both have impressive victories in their last two fights. Sokoudjou was a bigger underdog in his two fights but Alexander has proven he is a force to be reckoned with. I know Sokoudjou is in limbo right now but I think that the UFC should sign him and his first fight should be against Alexander. What do you guys think?
I'd have to go with Sokoudjou probably by K.O.

I'd have to go with Sokoudjou probably by K.O. | So we have Machida, Liddell, Rampage and now Sokoudjou who Houston has earned a right to face by fighting who? I don't think he has earned the right to face any of these guys, give him a TUF fighter or something, the guy has 2 impressive wins against relative nobodies, I wanna see him fight someone who has proven they can win. Give him Rashad or something.

Id like to see how he does outside of the first round before i judge him.Tons of fighters have hot streaks like the one Houstons on then look terrible when they finally face a top ten competitor.

Well what is Sokoudjou's ground game like? We don't know if he'll gas either. Who did Sokoudjou beat to earn a fight against Lil Nog? Plus, Keith Jardine is good enough for a main event against Liddell and Alexander smoked him. I definitely think this would be an explosive match up.

Hmm can u say no brainer???
Soko with wins over Lil Nogs and Arona both via KO versus Houston's wins over LHW's not even ranked. Take Soko in this easily as of right now.
