Video: Jacare Souza had successful surgery to repair fractured humerus

Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza has undergone successful surgery to repair the fractured right humerus he suffered against Andre Muniz in the featured preliminary fight of UFC 262.

Souza was submitted in the first round by Muniz, who had the Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace in an armbar that resulted in the fracture. He was immediately taken to a local hospital in Houston, TX where he had X-rays done that confirmed he did indeed fracture his right humerus. Per Guilherme Cruz of MMA Fighting, Souza consulted with his longtime doctor in Brazil, Rickson Moraes, and was prepared for surgery in the following days.
