The UFC’s #10 ranked middleweight Jack Hermansson just won a unanimous decision over the #4 ranked Ronaldo Jacare Souza in the UFC Fort Lauderdale main event.

The matchup had plenty of leather flying back and forth, with each man landing quality strikes. Hermansson got ahead early, landing his strikes and even going for a near-sub in the first-round. Jacare was never out of the fight. He continued to throw his hands, and started mixing in his body shots. Hermansson was in a bit of trouble there in the third round, but weathered the storm and came out strong for the fourth and fifth rounds.

Check out Tim Burke’s play-by-play of the fourth round from Jacare Souza vs. Jack Hermansson:

Round 4 – Hermansson shoots but gets nowhere. Jacare almost threw an illegal knee. Big uppercut from Hermansson! He’s swarming! Jacare fires back! Hermansson is really pressuring though.

Hermansson with a right hook. Slapping right. Jacare with a hard right hook of his own. They tie up and Hermansson lands a knee. More knees. Jacare circles out.
