The Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion put the MMA universe on notice at UFC Fight Night 28, scoring a TKO over Japanese standout Yushin Okami. The fight was Okami's last inside the Octagon.
Souza, meanwhile, is 3-1 since his tilt with Okami, most recently falling to Yoel Romero via split-decision at UFC 194.
Now, "Jacare" faces Vitor Belfort May 14 at UFC 198 in a bout that may determine the next title contender in the 185-pound division.
