‘Jacare’ Souza on Earning UFC Middleweight Title Shot: ‘I’ve Done My Part’

As the old saying goes, “Good things come to those who wait.”

Ronaldo Souza would certainly into the “good” category when it comes to MMA fighters, and he’s been waiting a long time to land a crack at the UFC’s middleweight title, but the Brazilian thinks his time is coming.

Souza has lost only once in the past five years, dropping a split decision to Yoel Romero at UFC 194, the same Romero who is slated to eventually fight Michael Bisping for the Brit’s 185-pound crown. “Jacare” had feasted on Bristol Marunde, Derek Brunson, Yushin Okami, Chris Camozzi (twice) and Gegard Mousasi before losing a razor-thin decision to Romero.
