    How good did this guy look tonight? The guy is only 20 years old and he's already very skilled both on the feet and on the ground. Both of his wins in the UFC have been impressive, and he is 14-0. I expect big things from this guy.

    I also think he will be treated like the Jon Jones of the LW division. Expect a lot of hype.

    He looked awesome, you can tell he still needs a lot of work, he's nowhere near the finished article yet but thats expected with a 20 year old. He's got a big future ahead of him but unlike Jones I don't think he's ready to be rushed into the title picture at the minute. Give it a few years though and we can see a superfight between him and Aldo :D

    thats one problem with mma, fighters are often times rushed along because of hype and what they are paid.

    a fighter like brock lesnar couldnt be matched up soft because of his pay, the ufc wants returns on their money.

    I think sokodjou could have developed better had he not been pushed, but then he beat arona and lil nog so its his own damn fault!!:lol:
