Babalu: I will submit Sonnen
Renato Sobral: “He exposes himself more in MMA. But if he makes a mistake, I’ll tap him with a triangle choke…I’ll use my entire arsenal, everything I can, to tap him.”
Earlier this week it was announced that Renato ‘Babalu’ Sobral will grapple Chael Sonnen at Metamoris VI, a rematch of sorts of their UFC 155 fight. Sobral recently spoke to MMAFighting.com about the matchup, and his prediction on how it will play out:
“Andre Galvao is one of the top in grappling, and he did a great job against Sonnen at Metamoris 4. I already expected that result, actually,” he said. “I think Sonnen will come in strong and try that guillotine, one of his best attacks, but I don’t see him catching me, submitting me. I will submit him in less than 10 minutes.”
Sobral tapped Sonnen with a triangle choke in the second round at UFC 55, and plans on using everything he can to finish the fellow Octagon veteran.
“He exposes himself more in MMA. But if he makes a mistake, I’ll tap him with a triangle choke,” he said. “I’ll use my entire arsenal, everything I can, to tap him.”
