Fun fact :Sokoudjou fought three future UFC champions

[@user-ws9ei4ep7k]

Who's here after ufc said someone else other than thierry and francis was the first cameroonian fighter in ufc???

[@gti5700]

Believe it or not, this was prime Glover. He came to the UFC way late and unfortunately got a few losses that kept him under the radar. He's possibly hit a 2nd prime and could be champion again🙌🏽

[@sulbul64]

Physical prime maybe but skill wise he’s way way better now

These WEC fights were why Glover had such hyped around him in the background and was a prospect to watch for like 10 years before the UFC got him
