It seemed fitting to end on a tournament, the same way he’d started some 13 years earlier, with a three-fights-in-one-night kind of deal back home in Rio de Janeiro. Back before anyone knew who Renato Sobral was. So at 37 years old, “Babalu” enlisted for one more tour of duty in Bellator’s light heavyweight “Summer Series” tournament and promised himself that win or lose he’d call it quits when his run ended. When he sat down at the post-fight press conference, “I knew something was going to come out of my mouth,” Sobral (37-11) told MMAjunkie.com (mmajunkie.com)
