Most pundits are just too convinced Camozzi does not have what it takes to beat Jacare a second time around after he was choked unconscious in less than four minutes during their first fight. The fact that he is once again taking the bout on short notice also doesn't help his case. However, as Souza's manager, Gilberto Faria said to Combate, no one can question Camozzi's heart, as opposed to Michael Bisping, as Faria claims.
"I think Chris Camozzi showed he is a warrior to take on Jacare like that. I'm actually surprised with his attitude, because he's getting in trouble. I asked for Michael Bisping, because he's fighting on the same week as Jacare, but Bisping doesn't want any of it. He is always talking about how he wants to get to the top and fight for the belt, but when the opportunity presented itself, he didn't want to fight. If he beats Jacare, he fights for the belt next, but he didn't want to take the risk, he prefers to fight C.B. Dollaway.
"Jacare hasn't fought in six months. If we don't take a fight now, he'll wait for five more months. Can you imagine going 11 months without fighting and then getting a top level opponent? "
