Babalu Sobral and Masakazu Imanari Both Added to One FC 4 Show in Malaysia

The first two fights for the upcoming One FC show set to land at Stadium Negara in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia including former UFC contender Renato ‘Babalu’ Sobral who will make his promotional debut for the Asian powerhouse.

Sobral was expected to debut at the last One FC show, but instead will travel overseas in June instead where he will face Tatsuya Mizuno on the card.

Sobral has been out of action since Dec 2010, partially to take some much needed time off, but also after suffering injuries from a snowboarding accident.

Now the Brazilian is ready to get back in action and will face Tatsuya Mizuno on the June One FC card in Malaysia.

Also added to the upcoming One FC show is a bout between submission specialist Masakazu Imanari and Leandro Issa.

Imanari is coming off a win over Kevin Belingon at One FC 3, while Issa comes into the fight on a six fight win streak including a victory at the inaugural One FC show last September.

Interesting. I like Brodinho but Imanari is a pretty big step up for him, and although I have always been a HUGE Babalu fan I think this is a winnable fight for Mizuno. While he isn't the greatest LHW, Mizuno did just beat a tough guy in Prangley, and Babalu is kind of chinny so who knows, he has a good chance to pull off the upset.
