Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou Nkamhoua (born April 18, 1984), sometimes billed simply as Sokoudjou , is a Cameroonian mixed martial artist and judo practitioner, who came to prominence in Japan's PRIDE Fighting Championships. He was recently released by the UFC after going 1-2 in 3 fights.

Sokoudjou was the 2001 US Open judo champion as a member of Judo America San Diego, and currently trains with Team Quest where he is acting as a kickboxing and MMA instructor.

In his PRIDE debut at PRIDE 33, Sokoudjou defeated Antonio Rogerio Nogueira via KO in 23 seconds. This fight stands out amongst fans because Sokoudjou was a 16 to 1 underdog. After a brief but successful stint in Pride, Sokoudjou signed with the UFC.

He lost in his UFC debut to Lyoto Machida at UFC 79 via Arm Triangle Choke. As an homage to the many photoshops of him on the internet, he entered the ring wearing a predator mask.

On May 24th, 2008 Sokoudjou rebounded from his UFC loss by defeating Kazuhiro Nakamura via TKO at UFC 84 in the first round. During his post-fight interview Sokoudjou challenged Mauricio Rua.

Sokoudjou's last fight was at UFC 89 against 8-1 Luiz Cane. He lost by strikes with 45 seconds remaining in the second round.
