Seriously?
After recently getting arrested for spitting on a bouncer in an altercation, Renato “Babalu” Sobral took another huge step towards strengthening the credibility of the UFC…
At the end of his dominating UFC74 undercard victory versus David Heath, Babalu took it too far.
After opening a HUGE gash on Heath’s head during the fight, Sobral ended the match with a choke. While in the choke, Heath tapped the canvas, tapped Sobral’s arm, and then referee Steve Mazzagatti waved the fight and attempted to push Sobral off. Babalu held on until the tapping turned into twitching and Heath was unconcious on the mat.
Gross. This was an audacious slap in the face of the trust and sportsmanship associated with getting into the Octagon - sure these guys are in there FIGHTING but without that element of trust, critics of MMA can become justified in their concerns.
Babalu’s $25,000 purse for the UFC74 fight is currently being held, with further disiplinary action to come. I hope it’s harsh.
(4 votes, average: 4.25 out of 5)
for starters, he’s wearing his OWN shirt in his mugshot, and secondly…KICK THIS DUDE OUTTA THE UFC!
I so agree cranky, Loogie is a mad mofo.
He needs a kick in the balls but lol Heath wore the babaloogie shirt in the ring with loogies mugshot on it lmao
Agree to you all.
Really, man I wish I saw this fight.
It’s a good thing that they are holding his purse, there goes a major deduction for his dumb ass actions.
Looks like ufc will get rid of him soon, oh well back to cage rage.
i concur.babalu was out of order and should be punished.
I agree but taking $25,000 of his pay is a little harsh in my opinion.
this cracks me up Babalu? Babaloser!lmao
Hey guys babalu just got released from his ufc contract.
HAHA GOOD
I dont get it B.J Penn did the same to lil evil, I guess Dana wont release b.j because of his little mancrush on “The Prodigy”
i think this whole deal is being blown out of perportion.they’re turing a molehill into a moutain.i do think there should be a punshiment but not kicking him out of the ufc.sobral just fucked up by talking about it.like pieface said penn did it to lil evil he just did’nt speak on it.besides if you choose to be a professial fighter you take the chance of being K.O.ed or put to sleep.boo whoo!health should of thought twice before he dissed sobral.i say let
bablu fight.
whats lmao mean i dont get it
you can see this fight its all over the net.just search sobral vs heath
100% right bro, just because Jens didnt go to sleep or bleed doesnt make it right for b.j to ignore the rules. Just like you said you are taking risks going into the octagon and its not Babalus fault that Heath opened up like a paper towel, and I believe he was asking for it!
Yeah ive seen it now.
