Renato "babalu" Sobral -- Just The Facts

why do people act as if babalu has somehow lost his abilities or is somehow on a down slide?



People on these forums think they know what they are talkin about but they dont and it makes me sick reading so many lame, idiotic, irrational statements that have no basis in fact.

here are some fuckin facts for you wanna-be MMA fans (try comprehending them before you speak about it):

The Facts:

1. his overall record is a stellar 27 - 6

2. he is 10 - 2 since fighting Chuck in 2002 ... thats 10 fuking wins in a row between the two losses to arguably the greatest American LHW in history.

3. his game plan in Chuck2 was to attack Chuck fast to get inside than use his wrestling skills to take him down. it was an intelligent plan that failed. there is no shame in it, and it was not executed poorly, it simply just didnt go his way. and the fools in the bleachers were pissed the fight ended so fast so they start yapping about babulu being some kinda joke fighter? its those fans who are the fuckin joke.

4. babalu should be fighting the next best LHW contender in the UFC not Jason Lambert. its actually a dishonor that UFC's Joe Silva would match Babalu up against this Lambert guy. Lambert just ain't in his league, and Lambert is getting really lucky to have this fight.

5. babalu is not on a downhill slide. he is just as deadly at MMA as he ever was. if you still dont understand why than it is becuase of fact #6

6. you sir are a village idiot.

I'm glad someone said it. Sherdoggies (and MMA fans in general) seem to jump off of people's bandwagon so fast after a fighter loses one bout. Doesn't make sense to me. Babalu is a major, major force at LHW.

Almost everyone has been knocked out by Chuck, it doesn't make him a terrible fighter.

think it has something to do w/ his very embarrising loss to chuck liddell...much expected him to fight alot smarter then that...and his rage for chuck got him ko'd....then mounted by Big John lol.... I dont hate the guy and would love to see him take out Ortiz and retire his ass.

Why is Lambert considered a dishonor? With a record of 22-5, he is almost exactly the same percentage as babalu. Three of his losses are to Tim Sylvia, Cabbage, and most recently Rashard Evans, and he took all those fights to the second round. He also has wins over Travis Wuiff, Marvin Eastman, and Rob McDonald. Ill admit I just found the info straight off fight finder, but I was pretty sure he was more legit than you made him out to be from the last few UFCs I saw him fight in. Im not saying hes the class of the division, but he certainly isnt a dishonor to babalu.
