Sounds like Soku's agent doesn't have anything working right now. But he DOES want to fight for the UFC but i don't think the money is there.
Here's a couple of Rampage's K-1 fights...

lmao. his parents don't even know he's fighting.
I went back a couple of pages and didn't see this. It's suprising that they released the news, but good for them.
Anthony Torres test positive for anabolic steroids at UFC 75. He was released from his contract, but apparently not for testing positive. UFC did their own testing because it was an overseas event.

Good to know that they really are testing at the non-sanctioned events...

I think your gonna be a happy dude soon
whys that?
I would bet my last dollar your favorite predator impressionist will be in the UFC within the next 2 months.
I hope so. Im just glad that 4 fight deal with EliteXC didn't go through...

I know that is an old article, but how did that just fall through the roof? If Soku comes over to the UFC, because the LHWs are so corrupt, I would say within 3-4 fights he should have a le fight.
nvm....
One high-profile fighter who won't appear on an EliteXC card in the coming year is Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (Pictures), this despite the light heavyweight verbally agreeing to a deal with Pro Elite that would have kept him busy, fighting four times in 12 months.
Reports surfaced Friday that Sokoudjou (4-1-0), who knocked out Ricardo Arona and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in his last two fights, fielded a late offer from K-1. Ryan Parsons, a representative for the 23-year-old fighter, told Sherdog.com that the K-1 contract promised "significantly more money" than the potential $200,000 per-fight Sokoudjou was slated to receive from Pro Elite.
Last week K-1 approached Sokoudjou with a one-year offer that would have placed the young Team Quest fighter against either Melvin Manhoef or Alistair Overeem on Monday's HERO'S card in Yokohama, the first of at least three fights he would have owed the Japanese promotion. However, failing to obtain a visa on short notice delayed the PRIDE veteran's return to Japan, and will keep Sokoudjou in Southern California this weekend.
Having backed away from EliteXC, Sokoudjou now awaits signing with K-1, which Parsons said should happen "shortly."
PRIDE FC Worldwide closes its office (mmafighting.com)
In what could be the final nail in the coffin for PRIDE, Sports Navi is reporting that PRIDE FC Worldwide shut down its offices today and laid off all of its employees. The owners of the UFC, the Fer ta brothers, formed PRIDE FC Worldwide in an effort to continue promoting PRIDE as a separate brand from the UFC. The outlook seemed bright when all employees from the previous owner of PRIDE, Dream Stage Entertainment, were retained for PRIDE FC Worldwide. But with PRIDE unable to secure a new television deal under its American owners, the likelihood of PRIDE resurrecting became slim to none.
One day I want a full story on what happened from the day the problems started until the doors sclosed.
why is the most popular sport in the world having trouble getting a tv deal?
It's not the most popular sport in the world...
