UFC president Dana White said prior to UFC 160 that the organization was eyeing a fight between Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza and Yushin Okami later this year.
According to MMAFighting.com, Jacare has accepted the challenge.
At this time, the bout looks like a forgone conclusion, but ink has not met paper. Okami is currently ranked No. 3 and Jacare No. 5. The fight could potentially determine the next middleweight contender.
Jacare is coming off a successful UFC debut against Chris Camozzi, and is the winner of four in a row. Okami has put together three straight of his own. They are truly two of the elite middleweights in the world today. This fight will help clear some of the air in the division.
Let’s take a peek at a breakdown of the potential bout between the middleweight contenders.
