A middleweight bout between Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza and Andre Muniz served as the featured bout of tonight’s UFC 262 prelims.
Souza (26-10 MMA), a former Strikeforce champion, was looking to snap a three-fight losing skid at tonight’s event. After losing decisions to Jan Blachowicz and Jack Hermansson in 2019, ‘Jacare’ had most recently suffered defeat to Kevin Holland by way of TKO.
Meanwhile, Andre Muniz (21-4 MMA) had entered UFC 262 sporting a six-fight winning streak, his latest being a submission victory over Bartosz Fabinski.
Tonight’s UFC 262 featured prelim did not make it out of the first round. After Ronaldo Souza appeared to get off to a strong start, Andre Muniz was quickly able to turn the tide in his favor with some impressive takedowns. Muniz would eventually lockup an armbar and after Souza did not tap he proceeded to snap his limb.

Oh man. I can’t watch this. Feel terrible for Jacare

It’s very surprising for a BJJ ace like Jacare, to try to stand up in a position like that where his arm is trapped. Maybe we get so good and over confident that we feel we can skip steps to get out of dangerous situations like that one. That cost him big. #UFC262
