beatbum - nahh, the Lyoto sweep on Sokoudjou sucked. The Makoto Takimoto throws, on the otherhand, are freaking beautiful!
Like an ass-kicking ballet!
I love this sweep he pulled on Trigg, even if he got reversed right away:

you just can't beat Lyoto to the punch. can't be done.

it just looked sloppy and uncoordinated like he sort-of stuck his foot out and Sok stepped wrong, and ended up tripping.
What Machida did to soko was more like the way you take the supporting leg out in muay thai than a real foot-sweep, but both are very effective.
I hate the way Machida punches with his left when soko throws his right kick though. That shit can get you hit a lot harder by the kick. You should punch with the right towards a right kick IMO, hiding the side he's kicking to. Different styles, or maybe Machida was just setting up the sweep
Not a foot sweep, but...
ttt
More of a scissor sweep, but meh
