Sorry, “Jacare.” While it’s not your fault, it’s also not your turn for a shot at the UFC middleweight title.
At this past Saturday’s UFC on FOX 15 event, Ronaldo Souza (22-3 MMA, 5-0 UFC) picked up his fifth straight UFC win with a first-round submission win over late replacement Chris Camozzi (21-10 MMA, 6-7 UFC) in the night’s co-headliner.
While his recent run of dominance has prompted some fans to call for Souza to get the next title shot, that honor probably belongs to UFC on FOX 15’s main-event winner, Luke Rockhold (14-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC). The former Strikeforce champion looked spectacular in a drubbing of ex-UFC titleholder Lyoto Machida (22-6 MMA, 14-6 UFC), and he could be up next for the winner of UFC 189’s co-headliner between champ Chris Weidman (12-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) and Vitor Belfort (24-10 MMA, 13-6 UFC).
