Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza is confident for his bout against Gegard Mousasi, the main event of UFC Fight Night: Mousasi vs. Souza scheduled for September 5. Interviewed by Combate.com, “Jacare” wants to not only win the fight but also finish his opponent and seek the UFC Middleweight belt, which today belongs to Chris Weidman.
Fighting him again it’s like just another fight. I’m ready to annihilate my opponent and have another victory in the UFC. I’m going to stop Mousasi. I’ve come to be undefeated in the UFC to loose for nobody. People have to keep believing in me because I’m going to be the champion of this division. But first I have to beat Mousasi to ask for something and after this fight I’ll ask for a title shot.
“Jacare” was knocked out by an upkick from Mousasi on September of 2008, at Dream 6, and since then won 11 of his last 12 fights, winning the Strikeforce 185-pound belt and holding it for 13 months. The UFC Middleweight champion, Weidman will defend his title for the third time on December 6, at UFC 181, against Vitor Belfort.
