Renato “Babalu” Sobral will defend his light heavyweight title against Gegard Mousasi at Strikeforce “Carano vs. Cyborg” on Aug. 15 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif.

The bout was originally scheduled for Affliction’s “Trilogy” event on Aug. 1 in Anaheim, Calif. Affliction announced the cancellation of its third event Friday, and signed a brand sponsorship deal with the UFC instead. The cancelled event left 22 fighters in limbo, including the world’s No. 1 heavyweight, Fedor Emelianenko.

Sobral (35-8) submitted Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou via a second-round brabo choke at Affliction’s final event on Jan. 24.

Mousasi (25-2-1), a former Dream middleweight champion, will make his U.S. debut against the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt. The 23-year-old Armenian-born fighter submitted Mark Hunt with a first-round armbar at Dream 9 on May 26.

The title bout will join two others on Strikeforce's Aug. 15 card. In the main event, Gina Carano and Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos vie for the first-ever Strikeforce 145-pound women's championship. Lightweight champion Josh Thomson will also tangle with interim champion Gilbert Melendez in a rematch of their highly regarded June 2008 tilt.
----------------------------------------------

Credit to Kamara for bringing this to my attention, im very happy about this fight considering the cancellation of many fights i was looking forward to.

THANK GOD!

I'm dying to see that fight. I'm a huge fan of both fighters, but I think Mousasi will destroy renato in this one. I'd love to see Renato pull off a win though, I just think Gegard is too skilled for him. We shall see, and that's why this is such an interesting fight. Thank you Strikeforce!

StrikeForce just saved its show. Now, all we need is an opponent for Nick Diaz to put down that ass-whoopin' on.

Mousasi in round 2.

They should force Diaz and Shields to fight IMO
