I know. I don't know why Sok's handlers keep throwing him up against top level talent. Especially guys who can work the ground. He had two awesome flash KO victories over Arona and Lil' Nog, and his handlers think he is the shit. He's still young, he needs people he can beat and build his skill level and experience.
The return of Jesus! Otherwise known as Gesius "JZ" Cavalcante is slated for Dream.9, with his opponent being The Crusher, Tatsuya Kawajiri.
Aleks Emelianenko won his fight over the weekend in Russia by way of stoppage due to a deep cut. He ate a NASTY right hand, stumbled and then clinched. The fight video is on you tube. I want to know what is wrong with this guy that they can't get him clearance to fight over here. I really like him. He's got one hell of a fucking chin.
He has hep C, or at least thats what the rumours say. I am pretty sure its true though because didnt the state of california black list him?
Finally, Vitor "Shaolin" Ribeiro makes his return to MMA at Dream.8. Ribeiro suffered an eye injury in his last fight, a TKO loss to JZ Cavalcante in September, 2007. Ribeiro faces Kat Nagata (4-4-1), a silver medalist in Greco-Roman Wrestling at the 2000 Summer Olympics.
