Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2016-05-14, pretty good finish between Ronaldo Souza and Vitor Belfort but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two (UFC Performance of the Night).The black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo and former Ufc Hw and light-Hw champion Vitor Belfort entered this fight with a professional record of 25-11-0 (84% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.4 middleweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Luke Rockhold). He fought twice last year losing to Chris Weidman (=Weidman vs Belfort) and beating Dan Henderson (=Belfort vs Henderson 3).
His opponent, the former Strikeforce Mw champion Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza (black belt in Bjj and judo as well), has a record of 22-4-0 (82% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.5 in the same weight class. He also fought twice in 2015 winning over Chris Camozzi (=Jacare vs Camozzi 2) but then he lost to Yoel Romero (by split decision, Souza vs Romero). Belfort vs Jacare Souza is on the undercard of Fabricio Werdum vs Stipe Miocic – UFC 198. Watch the video and rate this fight!
