What do they have to say about the fight?
- Renato "Babalu" Sobral recently commented on his upcoming fight with Gegard Mousasi at Affliction: Trilogy. Babalu has a simple game plan.
"On the ground probably that's where I can take advantage (of him). Whatever it takes. Whenever I see a space, I'm gonna push the fight. When he makes a mistake, then I'm going to finish."
- Gegard Mousasi also has a game plan for Babalu…
"It will be a good test for me. With Sobral, I will try to fight (a) stand up game. If it goes to the ground, I will take top position and work him over with my ground and pound. Sobral will have to watch out for my elbows; I want to use them in this fight. If I end up on my back, I can defend myself and eventually we will stand back up again."
