“Jacare” vs. Werdum

Great match from the Jiu Jitsu World Cup in 2004 between two of the top UFC contenders in their respective weight classes, “Jacare” and Fabricio Werdum.

Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza only competed at Black Belt for 2 years before taking up MMA full time, but in that short time frame he won 3 GOLD medals at the IBJJF BJJ World Championships and 1 GOLD medal at the ADCC World Submission Grappling Championships. With a 19-3 record, Jacare looks to make his run at the title in 2014.

Fabricio Werdum is a 2x IBJJF BJJ World Champion, a 2x ADCC World Champion, and is widely regarded as the top submission specialist in the UFC Heavyweight division. At 17-5-1, Werdum holds submission wins over notable MMA legends, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Fedor Emelianenko and will get his shot at the UFC title this year.
