Jacare Souza’s move up to Light Heavyweight
Having already suffered a loss to Jack Hermansson in the main event of UFC Fight Night: Jacare vs Hermansson on 27th April, 2019, which was also Jacare’s only fight of the year so far, the Brazilian made his return to the Octagon at the recent UFC Fight Night event in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Since his loss to Hermansson earlier in the year, Souza had already announced his move up to the UFC Light Heavyweight Division and for his first fight in the division, the former faced-off Polish sensation Jan Blachowicz, who came into this fight on the back of a huge win over former UFC Middleweight Champion, Luke Rockhold.
As seen in Sao Paulo, Souza ended up losing to Blachowicz in a fight which was dubbed to be fairly boring by a majority of the fight fans. However, despite the loss, Souza seems to be confident and has kept faith in himself.
Jacare not discouraged by loss to Blachowicz
Following his loss to Jan Blachowicz in Sao Paulo, Jacare Souza revealed that 20 days prior to his fight against the Polish hard-hitter, the Brazilian fighter suffered an illness as he couldn’t stop coughing. (H/T: MMA Junkie)
