Former UFC veteran Renato "Babalu" Sobral will be keeping himself busy over the next couple of months as sources are saying that Sobral will be facing Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Bobby Southworth on September 20 at the Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills, California in the "Strikeforce at the Mansion 2" event.Sobral has also been tapped to fight at Affliction: Day of Reckoning which is just three weeks apart from the Strikeforce event and although Babalu would most likely be favored to win the bout with Southworth the match is scheduled for five rounds since it is a title fight. The thing is why would Babalu risk it if he might be getting his 'dream fight' with Tito Ortiz? Sure Ortiz has not won a fight in about two years, but he still is a big threat to Sobral and than again Ortiz has not signed on with Affliction just yet. We will keep you up to date on Babalu's fights in the weeks to come.
