Soko easily takes this. I donno why people got on the houston bandwagon anyways
i concur doctor. good post.

Ouch haha that’s kinda harsh. I respect your thoughts though. Houston has a feel good story, great attitude and an exciting style, that’s why the bandwagon filled up so quickly. Soko would take this though, he’d be quicker to the punch than Houston and anybody who can KO a Nogeira is someone I don’t want to be punched by.

Soko's at a better camp, and seems to have more than just power...Still a fan of Houston, but he'd probably get submitted or pounded out on the ground.

Yea exactly! From Houston's fights, you can easily tell that all he had was power and explosiveness. I knew he was going to get a beating from Thiago.

Analyzing Soko's fights was a little different. You can tell that Soko had good striking technique in his fights against Nog and Arona. Obviously I felt that Nog got caught because it was just 23 seconds in... there wasn't much else to that but getting caught. He still deserves credit for koing one of the best lhws though. In his fight against Arona, he not only showed that power once again...he showed great TDD. He could be another liddell lol

He has tremendous potential and a great camp but I don't think Houston has much going for him. Sure he will get a couple wins but he relies too much on power and exploding.... technique will weather that storm and take over more often though!

I speculate that Sokoudjou is probably the stronger of the two and probably has the better chin. It is for these reasons that I foresee a victory by him via a knock out.
