Coach: ‘Jacare’ Souza doesn’t rule out light heavyweight fights despite move back to middleweight

Ronaldo Souza’s venture at 205 pounds did not start as expected, but he’s not ruling out more light heavyweight bouts despite his return to middleweight for a UFC 246 fight with Uriah Hall on April 18.

“Jacare” moved up a weight class following a decision defeat to Jack Hermansson in April, but lost a lackluster split-decision loss to Jan Blachowicz seven months later.

Souza is looking to snap the first losing skid of his MMA career, and his longtime head coach Josuel Distak revealed to MMA Fighting that the former Strikeforce champion is not attached to one weight class only.
