Gearing up for his fight with Yoel Romero last December at UFC 194, you couldn’t fault Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza if he started envisioning a bout for the UFC middleweight title in his future.Not that Romero was a pushover or that the Brazilian submission specialist was overlooking the former Olympic silver medalist, but with eight consecutive victories and 12 wins in his previous 13 bouts dating back six years, Souza knew he was close to earning the championship opportunity that had eluded him thus far and that an impressive performance against the equally close Romero would h … Read the Full Article Here
