‘Jacare’ to fight David Branch at UFC 230

The former World Series of Fighting two-division champion will face off with fellow middleweight contender Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza at UFC 230 on Nov. 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Sources confirmed the bout with MMA Fighting’s Guilherme Cruz and Shaun Al-Shatti following an initial report by ESPN.

Branch (22-4) has been effusive in his desire to match up with “Jacare”, recently telling MMA Fighting’s Marc Raimondi that he would “go to the friggin’ moon” to fight the longtime UFC and Strikeforcee standout. Unfortunately, Souza’s camp did not appear to share this sentiment.
