Ever since their faceoff at the UFC’s seasonal press conference earlier this month, Jack Hermansson has been visualizing the greatest challenge of his professional career: Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza, who he meets in the main event of UFC Fort Lauderdale this Saturday night.
Before his stunning first-round submission of former WSOF champion David Branch last month, “The Joker” pondered whether he would have enough time to be matched with ranked opponent for a Swedish homecoming on June 1.
Yet, a week after he made quick work of Branch, a short notice call-up to face fourth-ranked Souza was a perfect opportunity for the former Cage Warriors champion to embrace.
