10 Precise Moments UFC Careers Ended

10. Babalu Doesn't Let Go

A decorated Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioner, Renato 'Babalu' Sobral returned for a third UFC run in 2005, going 3-2 against the likes of Chael Sonnen and Chuck Liddell, before meeting David Heath at UFC 74.

'Babalu' was desperate for a win after two straight knockout defeats. He battered Heath in the first round, then opened up a large cut on his head in the second, before securing another takedown and working him into an anaconda choke. David tapped out, but Sobral refused to let go. Instead, he continued to squeeze Heath's neck and resisted referee Steve Mazzagatti's attempts to break the hold, not letting go until Heath had completely passed out.

A repulsive act, made worse by the victor's lack of remorse. In his post-fight interview, Sobral told Joe Rogan that he was aware of Heath's tap, but that his opponent "had to learn respect. He deserved that. He called me 'motherf***er.'"

Renato's UFC career was over. He was released from the company just five days later, with President Dana White publicly lambasting his actions, and the Nevada State Athletic Commission hit him with a $25,000 fine. He'd never return to the promotion again.
