However, even though ‘Jacare’ has shifted his focus back to middleweight for now, his head coach Josuel Distak revealed that the Brazilian isn’t entirely ruling out another fight at light heavyweight in the near future.

Speaking to MMA Fighting, Distak said that the former Strikeforce champion will continue to compete in both the divisions. He further mentioned that ‘Jacare’ will be competing in ‘special fights’ at the 205 lbs.

Although he was jeered during his fight against Blachowicz by the fans in his native Brazil, Distak says that Souza did really well to keep a prolific striker like Blachowicz at bay throughout the fight.
