Jacare Souza may be one of the best grapplers the UFC has ever seen, but that doesn’t mean is he taking his opponent Jack Hermansson’s ground game lightly this weekend when they fight at UFC Fort Lauderdale.
Souza (26-6, 1NC) was supposed to face Yoel Romero in a rematch this weekend, but when pneumonia forced the Cuban out of the fight Hermansson was quick to step in. Jacare recently told MMA Fighting that he accepted the fight with the Swede as the UFC promised him a shot at the middleweight title if he is to win.
