Bellator 121's Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou: 'I'm like a razor – ready to cut'

At one point, he was one of the most highly touted prospects in MMA, but Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou hasn’t had an easy go of things in recent years.

The man who pulled off stunning knockouts of Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Ricardo Arona in 2007 under the PRIDE banner has seemed a shell of that fighter’s potential against big-name opposition since then.

But after back-to-back knockout losses in 2013, Sokoudjou (14-12 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) has signed with Bellator MMA and believes this is his time to show the world he’s still a force to be reckoned with, as he told MMAjunkie earlier this week.

Tonight, he makes his promotional debut at Bellator 121, which takes place at WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Okla. He’ll meet Terry Davinney (10-7 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) in a light heavyweight bout on the main card, which airs on Spike TV following prelims on Spike.com.

Is “The African Assassin” from Cameroon indeed back? Tonight will tell. But he tells Bellator that’s just what everyone can expect.

Check out the video above. Then don’t miss Bellator 121 tonight on Spike TV (9 p.m. ET).
