Gegard Mousasi vs Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou non-title fight booked for Nov. 7 Strikeforce event!

Mixed martial arts fans who were disappointed that Gegard Mousasi and Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou weren’t meeting in DREAM’s “Super Hulk Tournament,” fear not. “The Dreamcatcher” and “The African Assassin” will instead throw hands at the Nov. 7 “Fedor vs. Rogers” Strikeforce event on CBS.

Unfortunately for the Cameroonian, it won’t be for the Armenian’s light heavyweight title.

MMAmania.com has been able to confirm a Sherdog.com report that upon approval by the Illinois State Athletic Commission, Mousasi vs. Sokoudjou will complete the televised portion of the Strikeforce/CBS event, set to air on network television from the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.

The two were paired up for a showdown at DREAM 11 as part of the “Super Hulk” semifinals on Oct. 6, until a shoulder injury prevented Mousasi from competing.

He was quickly replaced by the brittle but reliable Bob “The Beast” Sapp, who was unceremoniously destroyed by Sokoudjou in the first round of their contest.

I just got done watching WEC 43 and I enjoyed the last few fights. The Cerrone / Henderson fight had some crazy submission attempts by Cerrone and I thought he won the standup as well, he was putting henderson on his butt with leg kicks. But with 15 seconds left I lost connection to the fight as Cerrone was bending henderson's arm backwards. So I check Wiki to see the outcome and it says Henderson won by decision and under method its says robbery. lol. So what is this you win fights in WEC by getting dominated in the standup and escaping sub attempts in a title match. What a joke! In the Jansen fight the ref kept standing up the fight if nothing happened in a few seconds only for another takedown to happen. Isnt ground fight apart of MMA in WEC. I can see why Filho didn't like it there.

It was a good event! I thought it was going to be a toss-up as to who would win but I was leaning toward Cerrone. I thought the first round was Cerrone's. Henderson winning the 2nd and 3rd but losing the 4th and 5th. Interesting decision for sure. I think Henderson's arms are made of rubber the way they were twisted around so much. lol And that ref was a defiantly hasty in his decision to stand them those guys up like he did.
