] After a brief but successful stint in Pride, Sokoudjou signed with the UFC. He lost in his UFC debut to Lyoto Machida at UFC 79 via Arm Triangle Choke. As an homage to the many photoshops of him on the internet, he entered the ring wearing a predator mask. On May 24th, 2008 Sokoudjou rebounded from his UFC loss by defeating Kazuhiro Nakamura via TKO at UFC 84 in the first round. [http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?fighterID=17010] During his post-fight interview Sokoudjou challenged Mauricio Rua.

Sokoudjou next fight will be at UFC 89 against 8-1 Luis Cane.
