On Ariel Helwani’s MMA Hour, Scott Coker mentioned that Strikeforce has secured the rights to air the Rings bout between Dan Henderson vs. Babalu Sobral which happened over a decade ago, the same year Fedor Emelianenko officially caught his first loss (and it would be another decade before he would receive his second). I have a video of Babalu saying ‘[expletive] MiddleEasy’ then laughing hysterically for the remainder of the clip, but that’s really it. There’s no relevant content, nor does he talk about his upcoming bout with Dan Henderson on December 4th airing live on Showtime. It’s just Babalu in front of a camera, yelling out expletives — something that you will undoubtedly do come this weekend. Check out this video of a young Dan Henderson and an even younger Babalu getting ready to open-hand smack each other in the finals of ‘King of Kings’ at Rings in Tokyo, Japan on February 26th 2000.
