Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg Results: Gegard Mousasi Flattens Babalu in One

Gegard Mousasi defeated Renato Sobral by TKO/ref stoppage at 1:00 of round one.

The Armenian light heavyweight cemented his position as a legitimate, elite light heavyweight fighter and the new Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion.

Mousasi opened the bout with a takedown on Sobral, landing immediately in side control. From there Mousasi was able to work from that position against the fence while he rained well distanced, accurate punches from a modified knee on belly.

Sobral was never in the fight. Except for less than a handful of leg kicks, jabs and feints, "Babalu" was never in the fight.

This win could very well land M-1's star light heavyweight in the top rankings of the division.
