Ronaldo Souza’s bout against Robert Whittaker at UFC on FOX 24 this weekend is a whole lot more meaningful for Jacare than initially thought.
Not only is it between two of the best middleweights in the UFC, but Souza’s upcoming fight is the last one on his current contract with the UFC, MMAFighting.com reported Monday, meaning he will become a free agent after the event.
Souza’s manager, Gilberto Faria, told MMAFighting.com that there has been discussion between the UFC and Souza’s team, but that the two parties were unable to come to an agreement ahead of the Whittaker matchup.
