What are you expecting this command to do? If you want to 'sudo' a command, do that. If you want to 'su,' do that. But don't mix the two together.
I'm not the OP, but "sudo su -" is a very useful command; it gives the user full root access to a root shell with root's standard profile, but doesn't require them to know the root password.
It's not good _security_ practice (not in a long way) but it can be a useful command.
