Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza Beats Chris Weidman Via 3rd-Round TKO at UFC 230

Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza overcame Chris "The All-American" Weidman's home-field advantage to win via third-round TKO in Saturday's co-main event.

In a battle between two well-known grapplers the two middleweights went toe-to-toe in striking exchanges throughout the fight before Souza got the finish in the third and final round.

The victory injects life into the 38-year-old Souza's career. Jacare was close to having his name called in his last fight against Kelvin Gastelum but lost a split decision. Now, he has a former middleweight champion on his resume.

Of course, a win over Weidman doesn't mean what it used to.
