Ex-campeão dos meio-pesados do Strikeforce, Renato “Babalu” Sobral é o novo contratado do evento One FC. O professor da Gracie Barra Cerritos, na Califórnia, deve estrear no torneio asiático em março de 2012, precisamente na edição One FC/Dream, em Cingapura.

Com passagem longa pelo UFC, Babalu tem 36 vitórias, em 45 lutas na carreira, e já bateu feras como Chael Sonnen, Mauricio Shogun, Kevin Randleman e Robbie Lawler. A última apresentação do carioca ocorreu no Strikeforce, em dezembro de 2010, quando caiu contra Dan Henderson no primeiro round.

Recentemente as organizações One FC da Cingapura e Dream do Japão, além da filipina URCC, a australiana CFC e a sul-coreana Road FC, anunciaram uma parceria interessante. Para 2012, o plano é que os campeões de cada um desses eventos lutem entre si e unifiquem o título, tornando-se os primeiros campeões asiáticos de MMA.

Former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion Renato “Babalu” Sobral is the latest fighter to sign on with One FC. The headmaster at Gracie Barra Cerritos, in California, should make his debut for the Asian promotion in March 2012, joining the card for the One FC/Dream show in Singapore.

With a storied career in the UFC, Babalu has won 36 of his 45 career fights and overcome the likes of Chael Sonnen, Mauricio Shogun, Kevin Randleman and Robbie Lawler. The Brazilian’s last appearance under the Strikeforce banner came in December of 2010, when he was knocked out by Dan Henderson in the first round.

An interesting partnership was recently formed between Singapore’s One FC, Japan’s Dream, as well as Filipino promotion URCC, Australia’s CFC and South Korea’s Road FC. For 2012, the plan is for the champions of each of the events to face off and unify titles, crowing the first Asian MMA champions.
