While “Babalu” still has a ways to go before reasserting himself as a true threat, the 36-year old still looked sharp en route to victory. Sobral only needed 31-seconds to dispatch of opponent Tatsuya Mizuno, latching on to an Armbar after his Japanese foe scored an early takedown. The victory improved Sobral’s overall record to 37-9 and was the nineteenth submission of his career.
Meanwhile, fan-favorite Roger Huerta was not as fortunate as Sobral in his respective rumble against late replacement Zorobabel Moreira. Huerta, who entered the fight having lost five of his last six outings after winning sixteen straight, was left in la-la land thanks to a brutal soccer kick in the third round of their bout. It was his third consecutive strike-based stumble, a fact made more concerning by the notion he had never lost by way of knockout prior to the slide.
