In May of this year, UFC middleweight Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza (23-4)\u00a0pummelled Vitor Belfort en route to a fantastic, first-round TKO. The win pushed the talented grappler to a fantastic 9-1 in his last 10\u2013a controversial loss to Yoel Romero being his only hiccup in that stretch.<\/p>\n

In the wake of his defeat of Belfort, Jacare spent some time on the shelf with an injury. But according to a Tuesday Instagram post, he’s now recovered<\/a>, and he wants to know who you’d like to see him fight next.<\/p>\n

Eu quero lutar, estou pronto! Quem dever\u00e1 ser meu pr\u00f3ximo oponente na opini\u00e3o de voc\u00eas? #TimeJacar\u00e9 🐊 I want to fight. I’m ready! Who will be my next opponent? #TeamJacare 🐊 #BeMoreHuman<\/a><\/p>\n

Given his\u00a0status as one of the game’s very best middleweights, and the fact that UFC middleweight champ Michael Bisping is tied up with Dan Henderson<\/a>, Jacare really only has a few sensible options.<\/p>\n

Those options are: former champion Luke Rockhold, former champion Chris Weidman, and Romero, who he narrowly lost to last December. Of these three talented middleweights, who would you like to see Jacare fight most? Sound off PENN nation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
