Thought you grapplers might be interested.

Brad Imes is fighting? Sounds like one to miss, except Mir/Babalu. I am interested in what this will do for the winner, even though it is a grappling match.

Is Babulu coming up in weight or is this an open weight contest? Or is Mir actually in shape again.

nicee!!

Since it's just submission grappling I'd imagine that Babalu is just competing at heavyweight. I don't think Frank Mir would ever have been able to cut down to 205, he's got way too big a frame.

I figured it was on babalu's end, but maybe the fact that Frank is fighting a Light Heavyweight means he's finally committing himself to getting shape again

It's a grappling competition, I think more than anything it's a chance for both of these guys to get back in the ring and not worry about getting punched in the face.

its figure for bab, chuck realy nailed him after

I would have liked to have seen this

"bubble gum " Babalu will smoke mir cuz mir has fallen off.:sifone:

renato sobral

Shame neither of these guys will reach their potential in MMA...both peaked too early in their careers

Moral of the story is Babalu won, and both have fights comming up in the UFC.

WAR BABALU!!!!
