'BABALU' is back!!
By Edu Ramos
Renato "Babalu" had two fights called off this year. At last he is going to fight at Affliction: "Banned" July 6th. He hasn't fought since his last victory over Rodney Faverus. The new Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt will face Mike Whitehead.
Babalu is training at Gracie Barra and at the Combat Submission Wrestling Gym with Josh Barnett's Team in California.
Graciemag.com sat down and talked with the Brazilian fighter:*
"I'm thirsty for fighting. I've trained since December to face this guy. He was too heavy. He was a heavyweight and he is training with Couture, so he'll be well-trained. Ready for a fight, I believe in myself. Who fires first wins. This card is one of the best if not the best card ever. It's bothering the UFC and this dispute is great for the sport. Fighters need it."
