Entering the Octagon at UFC Fort Lauderdale, Jack Hermansson had two things in mind: win and catapult himself into middleweight division’s top five. Well, not only did he succeed he did so in a way few could have envisioned.
Standing opposite from Hermansson inside the Octagon was Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza, one of the most decorated grapplers in mixed martial arts history. With a plethora of gold medals from his time competing in the jiu-jitsu world, combined with 14 submission wins in his MMA career, Souza’s opponents are essentially a fish out of water when they find themselves stuck on the canvas with the Brazilian.
