UFC middleweight veteran and former Strikeforce middleweight champion Ronaldo 'Jacare' Souza has announced his retirement from MMA — this and much more on Wednesday's social media roundup.
Ronaldo 'Jacare' Souza retires from MMA
Ronaldo 'Jacare' Souza is an MMA veteran who won the Strikeforce middleweight title and was always one or two wins away from a UFC middleweight title shot.
In his most recent fight, Souza lost via submission and in the process got his arm broke, after this, speculation around Souza's future in MMA and more specifically the UFC was uncertain especially with the roster cuts which the UFC has been making over the last 18 months.
Souza has announced his retirement from MMA after an incredible career which involved winning a Strikeforce middleweight title and wins over fighters such as Gegard Mousasi, Chris Weidman, Vitor Belfort, and Derek Brunson.
Souza finishes his career on the back of a four-fight losing streak where he was finished by Kevin Holland and Andre Muniz and lost via decision to Jack Hermansson and the current UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz.
