Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou

Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou, “The African Assassin”, is a Cameroonian judoka who stunned Pride in 2007 by knocking out Antônio Rogério Nogueira and Ricardo Arona back to back in his first two big fights.

Those wins made him a hot prospect, but his UFC run was short. He later reached the final of DREAM’s Super Hulk Grand Prix, fought for Affliction, Strikeforce and Bellator, and won the KSW light heavyweight title. CagePotato covered his Pride upsets and his career after the UFC.
