5 MMA Fights For Stephan Bonnar To Take In Bellator

4. Sokoudjou

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2bifeZYP6s It's hard to believe that Sokoudjou is only thirty years old, but that's mainly because he made a quick jump to pride, then the UFC, in his twenties. With wins over Little Nog and Ricardo Arona in Pride, Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou quickly caught the attention of fans and signed with the UFC only to wash out of the promotion with a 1-3 record that included losses to Lyoto Machida and Babalu Sobral. He bounced around after that, but it's important to remember that Sokoudjou, when he was losing to The Dragon and Babalu in the UFC, had less than ten fights to his name. He returned to the North American MMA scene earlier this summer at Bellator 121 after having fought in Russia, South Korea, and Poland most recently, and scored a win over Terry Davinney. A fight with Bonnar would be interesting mainly for seeing two guys who never really lived up to their hype to go at it - and to see who has a little bit left in the tank (though with the age difference, the answer in this one is likely Sokoudjou).
