RIO DE JANEIRO — Much of the talk surrounding Ronaldo Souza ahead of his UFC on FOX 24 clash against Robert Whittaker has either been about his quest for the middleweight belt, the fact that he’s not fighting Luke Rockhold or Yoel Romero, or the upcoming title bout between Michael Bisping an Georges St-Pierre.
Make no mistake about it, though: “Jacare" is not overlooking Whittaker.
Souza and Whittaker will collide on April 15 in Kansas City, and the Brazilian is aware of the risks his opponent brings to the table.
