Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza, 36, formerly held the Strikeforce middleweight championship, but lost the belt to Luke Rockhold. The Brazilian contender sat cageside at UFC 199 last Saturday and watched Michael Bisping knockout Rockhold to capture the title.

During the post-fight press conference, Bisping addressed the possibility of facing Souza next. Souza recently underwent knee surgery and is expected to return to action in November.

Though Souza lost a split decision to Yoel Romero at UFC 194 in Las Vegas, he is 9-1 in his last ten outings and ranked at no. 3 in the middleweight division. He took home Performance of the Night for his technical knockout victory over Vitor Belfort at UFC 198.

Additionally, Jacare’s reaction to Dan Henderson knocking out Hector Lombard is caught on camera.
