Renato BABALU Sobral Early Career Deep Dive

Send a textRenato BABALU Sobral Early Career Ep  160Renato Babalu Sobral is as old school as a fighter gets. Babalu takes us on his journey from fighting in no rules bouts in Brazil to his transition to living in the United States. Babalu is an early Marco Ruas prodigy and a proud representative of the Luta Livre system. This interview is a wild ride and it includes long time teammate, former roommate and good friend Erik Apple.Babalu does NOT give interviews and it took us over a year to finally get him to commit; Erik Apple's relationship with Babalu allowed us to ask questions about subject material that Babalu would normally balk at answering.This interview is something that all of us fans should be proud of 0:00 Intro 0:24 Babalu & Erik Apple 1:05 Begining MMA Journey 2:58 Getting Punched 4:55 Fighting at 13 years old5:45 Getting the Name Babalu8:04 Meeting Marco Ruas & Pedro Rizzo 11:38 Joining Ruas Vale Tudo12:58 Desafio- Rio 8 Man Tournament15:58 Luta Livre vs Jiu Jitsu17:23 1st Fight Experience20:00 Concussion - Hospital22:00 Jiu Jitsu Rivalry22:45  Fernsndo Cerchiari “Bosco” vs Babalu 24:28 Carlson Gracie 25:38 Fighting in Tournament 27:30 Pedro Octavio Vs Babalu 32:09 Frederico Lapenda 34:00 Sergio Bottereli  34:57 Zaza Tkeshelashivii Vs Babalu 39:59 Brad Kohler vs Babalu 43:52 Brad Kohler as promoter 45:13 Training with a Broken Hand46:35 Mikhail Ilyukhin vs Babalu48:26 Kitoshi Tamura vs Babalu 49:10 Dan Henderson Vs Babalu 52:10  João Alberto Barreto and Hélio Vigio53:45 Jacob Zobnin vs Babalu 59:00 Manager Richard Wilner 1::00:10 Living with Erik Apple 1:03:34 Legacy & Opening a gym 1:06:30 Training with Marco Ruas 1:11:03 Pentagon Combat Riot 1:13:48 Dealing with CTE 1:18:33 Legend of Pacetau 1:22:40 Professor Landau1:25:25 Heromitsu Kanehara vs Babalu 1:26:44 Valentjin Overeem vs Babalu 1:28:00 Ryan Gracie 1:30:00 UFC Maurice Smith vs Babalu 1:31:23 Tito Ortiz Rivalry 1:35:18 2001 ADCC 1:36:07 Fedor vs Babalu 1:37:27 Joe Silva 1:37:58 Kevin Randleman vs Babalu 1:39:45 Chuck Lidell vs Babalu 1:40:35 Chael Sonnen Controversy 1:44:50 Gracie Barra 1:45:28 $50K IFC Tournament1:50:26 Training in Cuba 1:51:25 Jose Pele Lamdi vs Babalu Subscribe to the Lytes Out Podcast:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdcebSeWpoMqcotWR_1rHnQ Socials: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lytesoutpodcast/ LEAVE A REVIEW!iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lytes-out-podcast/id1568575809 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3q8KsfqrSQSjkdPLkdtNWb Cash App - $mikedavis1231Venmo - Mike-Davis-63ZELLE: [email protected] / ph#: 773-491-5052 Follow the #LOP team on Instagram: Chris - @chrislightsoutlytle Mike - @mikedavis632 Outro song: Power - https://tunetank.com/t/2gji/1458-power#Draculino #graciebarra #bjj #bjjlifestyle #bjjlife #MMA #UFC #NHB #LytesOutPodcast #LytesOut #MixedMartialArts #ChrisLytle #MMADetective #MikeDavis #MMAHistory #OldSchoolMMA #FightPodcast #FightTalk #DEEPDIVE #FiftyFightClub #MMAPodcast #FightPodcastSubscribe to the Lytes Out Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdcebSeWpoMqcotWR_1rHnQ Socials: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lytesSupport the show
