I believe he has an opportunity to prove himself against Sokoudjou, but I for one think he has bitten off more than he can chew!
I agree he has a chance for "proving" himself. But sokoudjou is just as low on the experience pole as anyone else. Again, MMA math arguments are notoriously poor and sometimes names you beat are more indicative of being overlooked or mistakes.

I was actually trying to sell you on his number of decision wins. Which i believe are better indicators of ability then a couple of quick knockouts.
