Since then, Jacare has gone 4-2 while Romero is 2-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both men are Strikeforce veterans that are arguably two of the greatest middleweights to ever compete. With Jacare being 39 and Romero 41, it&#8217;s just a testament to their incredible skill sets and longevity in such a taxing sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, for the BJJ wizard in Jacare, the Romero rematch could end up being his last fight as he still chases his ever elusive first career UFC title shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I am waiting [for] my time, for my chance or if UFC <g class=\"gr_ gr_9 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar multiReplace\" id=\"9\" data-gr-id=\"9\">don&#8217;t<\/g> give me the chance, I want to open a Jiu-Jitsu school for me,&#8221; Jacare said on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Ariel Helwani's MMA Show (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/i\/events\/964202978675605505\" target=\"_blank\">Ariel Helwani&#8217;s MMA Show<\/a>. &#8220;[I&#8217;ll] probably [retire]. I don&#8217;t have a problem with my retirement, right now my body is good, everything&#8217;s good but I don&#8217;t have a problem <g class=\"gr_ gr_8 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar multiReplace\" id=\"8\" data-gr-id=\"8\">about<\/g> this. I retired from Jiu-Jitsu when I was on top. I have to win this fight and I&#8217;m waiting for the UFC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m almost 40 but I look 27.&#8221; He said with a laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacare Souza vs Yoel Romero 2 will be the Brazilian&#8217;s 34th professional MMA bout (13th with the UFC). The first fight that took place at UFC 194 was billed as a No. 1 contender fight and now at this point, it&#8217;s still reasonable for Jacare to feel like it should be again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, thanks to the champion Robert Whittaker&#8217;s recent injury from UFC 234, it has created an interim belt that will be decided at UFC 236 between Israel Adesanya and one of his recent opponents, Kelvin Gastelum. Therefore likely bumping Jacare out of the immediate title picture assuming he can get redemption over Cuba&#8217;s &#8216;The Soldier of God.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article first appeared on <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\"><em>BJPenn.com<\/em><\/a><em> on 3\/25\/2019<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On April 27, the UFC heads to Florida for a pivotal middleweight showdown between two men that are quite familiar with one another.
