Zoom7000 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Yeah, if Babalu hadn't messed up the finish like he did then that would have been a superb return to form for him. Even with the finish it was still a devestating beating! Maybe he'll fix up his head for his next fight!

caster316 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 "Update: Stevenson thought he broke his jaw, but it turns out it was badly bruised. He did, however, sustain a broken nose in the first round of the fight. He has been suspended for three months by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), but can return sooner if he recieves medical clearanace." Also Couture arm break pic...

Rappy Veteran Posted August 30, 2007 Author Veteran Share Posted August 30, 2007 Looks Like thats it for Sobral... As UFCjunkie.com (www.ufcjunkie.com) reported in an earlier UFC 75 conference call recap, Renato ?Babalu? Sobral has been dropped from the UFC following his actions at this past Saturday?s UFC 74 event.UFC President Dana White confirmed that the fighter has been cut from his contract after initially refusing to break a chokehold on opponent David Heath and then admitting it during a post-fight interview. Sobral told the sold-out crowd in the Mandalay Bay Events Center that he wanted to ?teach (Heath) a lesson? for disrespecting him during the previous day?s weigh-ins. After dominating much of the fight ? and opening a gash along the fighter?s forehead ? 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. At least three to four seconds ticked by before Sobral broke the hold. By then, Heath had gone unconscious. Half of Sobral?s $50,000 payday has been withheld by the Nevada State Athletic Commission pending a review by executive director Keith Kizer. He recently stated that a suspension could also be in order. While White said that Sobral is now gone from the organization, he didn?t rule out the possibility of the light heavyweight returning some day. ?I never say never,? White said. Before this past weekend?s undercard fight, Sobral lost to Jason Lambert at UFC 68 in one of the night?s biggest upsets. Prior to that, he lost to then-UFC light heavyweight Chuck Liddell in UFC 62?s main event one year ago. That loss ended Sobral?s 10-fight winning streak, which began after a previous loss to Liddell at UFC 40.

Zoom7000 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 It's a shame, but he deserved it. It was a dangerous thing to do and the UFC had to put their foot down and let the fighters know that kind of behaviour won't be accepted in the Octogon.
