Ronaldo Souza will be on the sidelines for a while, following his TKO loss to Robert Whittaker, on April 15. As Combate reported, the 37-year old will undergo surgery on a chest tendon that was partially torn during the fight. The recovery time, according to his doctor, will take somewhere between four and six months.
Before the loss, Jacare was on a two-fight winning streak, with a submission win over Tim Boetsch and a TKO win over Vitor Belfort. His other UFC loss was a split decision loss to Yoel Romero, back in December 2015.
