Sokoudjou over Minowa -325 Bookmaker 1.5u/.4u
Soko is a blackbelt in Judo with good throws and power in his hands. He is notorious for his poor cardio and inability to fight off of his back. Fourtunately for him, Minowa should not be able to take him deep in to this fight or put him on his back. Minowa is a decent grappler with dangerous leg locks, but Sokoudjou should come out very strong and I expect a gnp beating to end this fight in the first. If Machida, Babalu or Mousasi could not finish Soko when he was fresh, I don't see how Minowa does. I give him less than 20% chance of surviving long enough to lock up a leg.
