Ronaldo Souza and Francis Carmont will look to steal the show at UFC Fight Night 36, a fight card headlined by fellow middleweights Lyoto Machida and Gegard Mousasi.
Since losing to Luke Rockhold in a narrow decision that cost him his Strikeforce championship, Souza has won five straight fights. Undefeated in his two UFC appearances, “Jacare” could establish himself as the next 185-pound title challenger with an impressive win on Saturday.
Teammates with former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, Carmont has mainly utilized wrestling to go unbeaten through his first six UFC outings. While he hasn’t been scoring many memorable victories, Carmont would really impress should he beat Souza on the ground.
As this intriguing co-main event approaches, here is a look at how Souza and Carmont match up in all areas.
