Two of the hottest prospects in MMA have been busy fielding offers lately, but so far, neither one has signed. As part of the fallout from the ownership change-up of Pride, Denis Kang and Thierry Sokoudjou are looking for new homes.
Sokoudjou, ranked by MMAWeekly.com as the #6 light heavyweight fighter in the world, has publicly acknowledged that his intentions lean towards signing an offer from EliteXC, but in checking in with his camp, the contract has yet to be signed. There's no real drama here; Sokoudjou's representatives are working on contract details and it is likely that there will be a resolution soon.
Things aren't quite as clear for Denis Kang, who is also fielding offers and is also ranked #6, but in the middleweight division. According to Kang, his representatives have been working on sorting through various offers, but he has yet to make a decision.
"I just want to know, you know. I want to get back in there and fight," said an anxious Kang. "I'm just waiting for my management to figure things out."
It sounds as if Bodog is leading the pack of suitors for Kang's services, but as he stated, he just doesn't know yet where he is headed. He just wants to resolve the situation and get back to doing what he does best... fight.
