Babalu really wants Tito
Cage Writer — ... "Babalu" Sobral at all costs? Babalu approached Ortiz during the Strikeforce show to simply talk trash with the injured superstar. Ortiz responded during the press conference by repeatedly calling him "Baba-who." Ortiz also said he needs a warm up fight when he returns. The UFC has first right of refusal on any deal signed by Ortiz through June. This is an interesting fight but is it big enough in stature for Ortiz to take the risk? Tip via BloodyElbow
