Affliction 3 Preview: Renato "Babalu" Sobral
Babalu speaks on a variety of things, including retirement and fighting Gegard Mousasi. I know there are a lot of Babalu fans that read MMA4Real, but this is going to be a tough match up for Sobral in my opinion. However, if he can get past Mousasi there could be a fight with Tito Ortiz on the horizon which would be big for his career.

He won’t get past Mousasi.
Btw, that interviewer is terrible.

!["It's going to take a lot of time," he said. "I have to take it step by step. I cannot put so many pounds on in a short time. First, I will be a small heavyweight, and slowly I want to put more pounds on. It will take two, three years before I'm a solid heavyweight."
"They wanted me to sign for six fights," Mousasi said of the original deal. "I didn't want that. They didn't pay me that much. But money will come. I want to grow with Strikeforce as they grow with Showtime and CBS. I think it's a good place to be.
"If I had it in my mind, like OK, I'm going to the UFC, then I would have gone. But I have a new contract with DREAM, so I'm planning to stay busy and fight in Strikeforce and Japan constantly."
"I don't want to fight for too long," he said. "(At) 30, I'm finished. In my mind, (I just want) the amount of money that [would give me] a good life. Anymore than that, I don't need.
