Renato “Babalu” Sobral is now officially fighting for 2 organizations. At the playboy mansion last Saturday, an announcement by Strikeforce was made stating that Babalu had signed a fight contract with their organization.
He recently told GracieMag that he has also signed with the Canadian HCF (Hardcore Championship Fighting) organization as his second home. HCF is also the home for two other popular mixed martial artists, which include Aleksander Emelianenko and Antonio “Minotoro” Rogerio Nogueira (the twin brother to Minotauro who is currently in the UFC).
This is what Babalu had to say (props to GracieMag.com):
“I still don’t know who I’m going to fight…I’ve been
training at Gracie Barra with the likes of Marcio Feitosa and Flavio
‘Cachorrinho’ Almeida”
