Honestly, I thought it looked like the sport passed him by when he was in Strikeforce. His UD of Lawler was none too impressive to me. I'm a big fan and I hope he's able to have a great life after his MMA career ends (which should happen shortly).

I've been a long time fan of Sobral, but unfortunately I think he's just done. Hopefully, he can go out on a win, and then retire.

He was doing well in the fight. Got hit with a really hard spinning back fist.
But for now? I would say the answer is "home."

It's unfortunate, Babalu has the skills to stay at the top of MMA, but the fact that he cant take hard shots has kept him from reaching many of his goals. I actually put him in the same category as Keith Jardine and Andrei Arlovski. Great fighters, just suspect chins.

Retirement. He had some really bad TKO losses.
