We have received word from a source close to the Team Quest camp that Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou will be facing a returning Kazuhiro Nakamura at UFC 84: Ill Will in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sokoudjou is looking to bounce back from a tough submission loss to Lyoto Machida while Nakamura is returning from a failed drug test (marijuana) at UFC 76: Knockout, where he also lost to Lyoto Machida.
UFC 84: Ill Will seems to be getting better and better every week as a new fight is continually being added. The Sokoudjou vs. Nakamura fight is the fourth confirmed bout of the card so far.
The other three fights at UFC 84 are:
– BJ Penn vs. Sean Sherk for the UFC Lightweight title in a five round fight
– Tito Ortiz vs. Lyoto Machida
– Wanderlei Silva vs. Keith Jardine
There are also six other rumored fights for the card courtesy of MMAWeekly:

– Wilson Gouveia vs. Goran Reljic
– Rousimar Palhares vs. Ivan Salaverry
