2007-11-01 23:53:00 By MMA Junkie Renato ?Babalu? Sobral, a former UFC fighter who was booted from the organization after a controversial finish to his UFC 74 fight with David Heath, has signed a non-exclusive deal with the Xcess Fighting organization. He?ll make his debut with Xcess Fighting at a Dec. 12 event, the organization today announced. It?ll be Sobral?s first fight since UFC 74. After dominating much of his Aug. 25 bout with Heath, Sobral secured a fight-ending anaconda choke in the second round. However, after Heath tapped, Sobral refused to break the hold, even as referee Steve Mazzagatti tugged on his arm. Three to four seconds passed before Sobral finally broke his grip. The Nevada State Athletic Commission eventually fined Sobral $25,000 (half his fight purse) but didn?t hand down a suspension. (Continue Reading)

Grappling Tournaments For Families and Babalu - 31 Oct 2007 01:43:32pm
2007-10-31 14:43:00 By Sid Needelman On October 20th, 2007 in northern Miami, hundreds of competitors gathered to test out their skills against each other. Competitors came in all shapes and sizes. They were broken down in both gi and no-gi brackets, by skill, sex, weight and age. When most MMA fights end up on the ground, a solid ground game is crucial to success and many fighters start their journey to stardom at tournaments like these, or for well known competitors like The Ultimate Fighter's Cole Miller, they come to keep their skills sharp. This North American Grappling Association tournament, or NAGA for short, had a great tournaments for participants, family and friends to watch, and also two superfights. Neither of the Superfights went as planned, but still offered something a little extra to watch and give a little more to brag about when you say you participated in an event on the same mats as Babalu Sobral.

Babalu Signs with Strikeforce
2007-10-01 00:00:00 After being kicked out of the UFC for holding a choke too long against David Heath, Renato Sobral has already signed with another organization, Strikeforce.This is huge for Strikeforce. Babalu adds to a pretty esteamed list of fighters at Strikeforce which includes Frank Shamrock, Phil Baroni, Cung Le, and the undefeated Gilbert Melendez.However, this is horrible for the UFC. I'm still not sure why they let Sobral go. B.J. Penn held a longer choke on Jens Pulver in their most recent fight. I was recently talking to Jens about this, and he said that he didn't think that either B.J. or Renato needed to be punished. I'll let Jens say it:"It doesn?t matter to me, I didn?t see what BJ did as being wrong and I didn?t see what Renato did as being wrong. I was the one who got caught in the rear naked choke.""When you?re in the cage and you?re fighting somebody, especially when you don?t like the person you?re fighting?like truly dislike the person, when you get that hold and you squeeze ...

Is Castro Dead? Babalu and the new Kill Raul Castro reporting
2007-08-25 03:26:00 Hermano blog Babalu and the now obsoletely-named Kill Castro are reporting that Fidel Castro, the world record-holding dictator of Cuba, is dead. From Kill Castro: Let's update at the first line, for a change: Apparently, there are indications in Cuba about an imminent announcement. It can be a government launched rumor, but it can be true, too. Let's see what happens from now to the end of the day! We've been getting some reports from both Havana and Oriente about a "estado de alerta" in which the "organizaciones politicas y de masas" are being put since midweek. We are under the impression, even though we haven't been able to talk to anybody who has actually seen the body, that the end of the race for El Barba Cucaracha is really close, if he didn't cross the finish line into Hell already. We advise the Cuban people to be cautious, since the regime could be doing a dry run -creating false expectations- to be able to bag people at this time. Again, we have been told th...

Just egg salad. ----- It's not easy for a vegetarian to order a sandwich, although a few possibilities exist. Blimpie
