While Robbie Lawler and Renato “Babalu” Sobral meet in a 195-pound catchweight affair
at next week’s “Strikeforce: Los Angeles” event, the
fight will have an immediate impact on both the 185- and 205-pound
divisions.
Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker today said on a media call promoting the
event that both Lawler and Sobral would put themselves in line for a
title shot in their respective divisions with a win.
Of course with Strikeforce’s middleweight champion Jake Shields
currently negotiating his future and light heavyweight champion Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal a frequent training partner of Sobral, both potential
fights come with a handful of caveats.
