In a interview with Fighthype Sokoudjou is still trying to get a fight with Shogun Rua, when PRIDE was brought out and the fact that he mentioned that the UFC should do a Pay-per-view called "One more PRIDE". An event that he said he would love to be to co-main event of a possible future Wanderlei Silva Vs Quinton "Rampage" Jackson 3 fight. Sokoudjou had this to say to fighthype, "I would love for the UFC to do that".
When he was asked if he was calling out Shogun because it would be his first fight since his knee injury Sokoudjou said,"I've been calling him out since my second fight in PRIDE. I've always wanted to fight him. He's one of the top guys. I would love to fight him because it would show me where I am as far as being a top athlete like him."
When he was asked if he was calling him out to disrespect him he said,
"No. No disrespect ...I mean, he's one of those guys I go home and study. How could I be disrespectful when I say all the time he's one of the top guys.
When asked if he would be ready for a return for a possible September fight, when Shogun is rumored to return.
"I could lose a leg or thigh and still be good to fight Shogun : I want that fight badly.
As a fan and a writer lets hope The UFC and Joe Silva honors Soko's request this would be a great fight to watch. These guys have been talking about each other since PRIDE lets hope it happens.
