Who were those announcers? Those guys were actually pretty good. (I mean Sean Wheelock and Jimmy Smith, not Tito Ortiz.) They made a couple of ridiculous statements (”Renato Sobral is one of the top light heavyweights in the world now!”), but for the most part they were surprisingly good.

Written by Dave Sholler
We’d argue that Sobral is the best 205-pound fighter not under contract to the UFC. Hopefully, Strikeforce (he holds their light heavyweight title) or Affliction can find suitable opponents for “Babalu” in the future. Our suggestion? Tito Ortiz would be nice…

Let’s just hope he doesn’t fizzle like Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou. The Team Quest-trained fighter once again came out strong, but could not maintain the momentum against the dangerous Brazilian jiu-jitsu stylist, and current Strikeforce 205-pound champion, Renato “Babalu” Sobral.

Sokoudjou has the look and the game that excites fans. He's a pretty dynamic striker. Unfortunately his gas tank may only contain one round. Sokoudjou is also brutal on the ground. He'll be the bigger fighter in this one but his lack of ground skills will be his undoing against an excellent...
