Ronaldo Souza could be meeting Derek Brunson in a pivotal middleweight matchup early next year.

“Jacare,” a top UFC 185-pound contender, revealed in a Twitter post Monday that the promotion offered him a bout against Brunson at UFC Fight Night 125 in Brazil in February. Souza has agreed to the fight, he said, and is now waiting for Brunson, a fellow top contender, to do the same.

UFC offered me Derek Brunson to fight on February 3rd at UFC FN 125, Belem do Para, Brazil. I already agreed to fight on Belem do Para, Brazil, now is up to Derek Brunson, I hope he doesn't come up with escuses about the location and date of event.
