‘Jacare’ could return to middleweight following ‘boring’ UFC Sao Paulo loss

Ronaldo Souza isn’t ruling out a return to middleweight for his next UFC bout after a disappointing debut as a light heavyweight.

“Jacare” lost a lackluster five-round decision to Jan Blachowicz in the main event of UFC Sao Paulo on Nov. 16, dropping to 2-3 over the last two years, and he told MMA Fighting he’s still discussing his next move with longtime head coach Josuel Distak and new manager Andre Pederneiras.

“My manager and my team are talking which weight class I’ll fight next, so there’s a lot going on here right now,” Souza said.
