Ronaldo Souza’s attempt to inject new life in his carer went awry on Saturday when he lost to Jan Blachowicz in the UFC on ESPN+ 22 headliner.
After stalling out as a middleweight contender, Souza (26-8 MMA, 9-5 UFC) moved up to light heavyweight and was immediately afforded a matchup with a top-ranked contender like Blachowicz (25-8 MMA, 8-5 UFC) in a main event spot at Ginasio do Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo. But it didn’t go his way, and “Jacare” lost a split decision.
The Brazilian is now on the first two-fight losing skid of his career, and at 39 may have some decisions to make about his career goals going forward and how the result against Blachowicz impacts him.
What does the loss mean for Blachowicz? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future.
