Vitor Belfort calls ‘Jacare’ Souza toughest middleweight in the UFC

CURITIBA, Brazil -- Coming off a devastating knockout over Dan Henderson, Vitor Belfort returns to action Saturday against Ronaldo Souza, and he sees the jiu-jitsu expert as the toughest fighter in the middleweight division.

Belfort, who holds a knockout win over current middleweight champion Luke Rockhold, believes that "Jacare" is a tougher match-up for him at UFC 198.

"I have my eyes on ‘Jacare’ only. I’m only thinking about him," Belfort told the media when asked about asking for shot at the belt with a win at UFC 198.
