In interview to the site GRACIE, Jose Pelé Landi it confirmed that it will face Renato Babalu in the event organized for Wallid Ismail and Antonio Inoki. "A fight is closed. Babalu is plus a laborer of the valley-everything. An excellent one wrestler and I go to leave for inside. The tactics to defeat the Babalu are to nocautear, it is a hard comrade and I do not see another strategy that is not to try nocaute", Pelé said. Without fighting since July of the passed year, when Lee Murray in the EF1- Genesis was nocauteado by the English, Pelé it made question to thank the Wallid Ismail for the chance to act in the Jungle Fight. "Ele used me. Thanks to God I am with job and is an excellent one to be in return.

I got it off the gracie mag website, I used an internet translator, but you get the idea. I think this is Pele's first fight at 205. I wonder if Babalu will be too much to handle at that weight...

I'm picking Babalu in this one. Pele hasn't won a fight since when? I can't see him being as mobile at 205. He's getting smashed.

Pele was at his best at 185, when he was quick, mobile and athletic. At 205, all I see is a blown-up middleweight with a beer gut.

I always root for Pele, I just dont think he can beat Babalu at 205. On a side note, his head looks tiny in that pic....

I like Pele, too, even after Murray caved his head in. But I just don't see how somebody who has spent his entire career at 170-185 can move up to 205 and beat Babalu, a top 10 guy.
