Jacare Souza looks to add one more win in his impressive resume when he takes on Jack Hermansson in the main event of UFC on ESPN 3 at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida, on April 27.
Souza, who has won four of his last six fights, was initially supposed to face Yoel Romero in a rematch. However, Romero had to pull out due to pneumonia with Hermansson stepping in on short notice.
While “The Joker” is not the highly-ranked opponent that Souza may have wanted, a win for the Brazilian will almost guarantee him a long-awaited title shot at the winner of Robert Whittaker vs. Israel Adesanya.
Souza’s last outing was at UFC 230 in November where he took part in an epic back-and-forth war with former middleweight champion Chris Weidman.
With both fighters being high-level grapplers, the fight was somewhat surprisingly entirely on the feet, with Souza getting an emphatic knockout in the third round.
