After an injury-enforced 18 month absence, Renato Sobral made an emphatic comeback at ONE FC: 'Destiny of Warriors' back on June 23, 2012, submitting a top ranked 205-pound fighter in Asia in just over 30 seconds. Tatsuya Mizuno was expected to be a formidable opponent, but the former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion wasted no time in securing a fight finishing armbar.
"Babalu's" career has had its ups and downs, from defeating Trevor Prangley, Mauricio Rua and Jeremy Horn in a single night to win the IFC Light Heavyweight tournament, to coming up short on two successive occasions when challenging for Chuck Liddell's UFC title.
He has also been in there with the likes of Chael Sonnen, Fedor Emelianenko and Dan Henderson, but feels that signing with the biggest mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion in Asia has given him a new lease on life.
"I had a wonderful time in Malaysia and Victor and his team were very professional and produced an event which seemed to function seamlessly. I would like to say thank you to Victor and everyone at ONE FC and I can't wait to fight for ONE FC again."
