In the battle of Brazil vs. Brazil on Saturday night at UFC 198 in Curitiba, Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza got his hand raised.
Jacare defeated MMA legend and former UFC Champion Vitor Belfort in the UFC 198 pay-per-view co-main event via TKO due to strikes at the 4:38 mark of the very first round.
After the fight, Jacare said he feels he is deserving of a UFC Middleweight Title shot after beating Belfort tonight. He spoke about his first fight with the reigning UFC Middleweight Champion Luke Rockhold, claiming the judges for their first fight, which Rockhold won back in Strikeforce, got the decision wrong.

On Saturday night, Invicta FC Featherweight Champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino made her successful Octagon debut.
Cris Cyborg defeated Leslie Smith via TKO due to punches at just 1:21 of the very first round in the third fight from the top at Saturday’s UFC 198 pay-per-view in her hometown of Curitiba, Brazil.
Cyborg spoke with UFC commentator Brian Stann after the fight and stated that because she is the Invicta FC Featherweight Champion, she will continue to defend her belt, but she is also willing to take catch weight fights in the UFC.

It wasn’t a good night for Matt Brown at UFC 198 Saturday.
Even before being submitted by Demian Maia in the third round, Brown had to fend off attacks by three fans as he walked to the Octagon.
If you are asking why Brown was nearly assaulted, it likely stems from his antics during weigh-ins on Friday when he turned his back on the crowd and flipped them off.
When it comes to the subject of Phil “CM Punk” Brooks competing in the UFC, current welterweight contender Matt Brown has a very definite opinion.

When it comes to the subject of Phil “CM Punk” Brooks competing in the UFC, current welterweight contender Matt Brown has a very definite opinion.
Ahead of his fight against Demian Maia at tonight’s UFC 198 pay-per-view event in Curitiba, Brazil, Brown spoke with The Fan Garage and the topic of Punk in the UFC came up.
“I didn’t criticize him for having his surgery if it was something necessary to do,” Brown said of Punk’s decision to postpone his UFC debut to get surgery. “I criticized him for the fact that he’s not a fighter. He doesn’t deserve to fight in the UFC with no fights.”
Brown continued, “I don’t believe he deserves to fight in the UFC based off the name he made in pro-wrestling and I think he’ll figure it out when he fights in the UFC, he’ll figure it out the hard way. Or he can listen to me and that’ll be the easy way to learn.”
Punk was scheduled to make his Octagon debut against Micky Gall, who earned the fight to become Punk’s debut opponent in the UFC when he defeated Mike Jackson on a UFC preliminary fight after calling out Punk on Dana White’s “Lookin’ For A Fight” reality show. Instead, he was forced to pull out of the bout, which was expected to go down at UFC 199 in June, because he needed to undergo an operation to repair an injury.
As things stand right now, there is no definitive timetable for Punk’s UFC debut. It is, however, still believed that he will be fighting Gall in his first Octagon appearance.
Could it be possible that Fabricio Werdum vs. Fedor Emelianenko II actually takes place inside the world-famous Octagon, under the UFC banner? If you listen to both Fedor and Werdum, it definitely sounds like a possibility.
Fedor, who recently made his successful MMA fighting return under the Rizin FF banner in Japan, spoke with Epic MMA and claimed that he is in negotiations with the UFC and hopes to fight their heavyweight champion, Fabricio Werdum.
“We are in negotiations with the UFC,” Fedor said during the interview. “If there is desire, I will be ready to fight there. I would have interest in a rematch with the UFC heavyweight champion, Fabricio Werdum. I have several times told UFC, the bigwigs of UFC that I am ready to have this fight.”
Fedor continued, “I like to fight, I like to perform, but as far as who I would like to fight, I would like to fight the UFC champion.”
Meanwhile, Werdum, who defeated Fedor when the two last fought under the Strikeforce banner, forcing the legendary heavyweight to tap out in just 69 seconds to a triangle choke and ending his historic undefeated streak, claimed he too would like a second fight with Fedor.
“It will happen because it’s a fight that I really want,” Werdum told MMA Fighting. “I respect Fedor a lot, he’s an example in our world. I would give him this rematch, for sure.”
Werdum continued, “I have everything planned in my mind already. I have a vision. Nothing official, nothing from the UFC, only from my head — Fedor and I in a rematch at Chechnya. The president of Chechnya, (Ramzan) Kadyrov named me an ambassador in the country and he loves MMA, and it would be cool to take the UFC to Chechnya. Fedor and I, the main event of UFC Chechnya.”
Before he can headline UFC Chechnya against Fedor, Fabricio Werdum will headline UFC 198 in Curitiba, Brazil, as he defends the UFC Heavyweight Championship against Stipe Miocic live on pay-per-view.
