'Jacare' Souza rips Luke Rockhold and Michael Bisping ahead of UFC 208 quoting : FOX Sports

When the UFC announced that Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza would be returning to action on Feb. 11 to meet Tim Boetsch in Brooklyn, the matchup was met with a lot of confused curiosity. That's what I always want but a fight against (Michael) Bisping — Bisping's a disaster," Souza said. While Boetsch is a fearsome knockout artist coming off two straight finishes in the middleweight division, "Jacare" is arguably one fight away from a title shot and he's currently ranked No. So I'm happy that Tim Boetsch accepted the fight and it's going to keep me ready and active and fighting so I'm pretty stoked that he took the fight," Souza told FOX Sports. I always want to fight the best in my division but I cannot stay one year without a fight.

Henrique was set for a heavyweight scrap with Marcin Tybura in the Ultimate Fighting Championship's (UFC) first event in Brooklyn, NY. Before making his UFC debut, Henrique mostly fought for Watch Out Combat Show. The New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) pulled "KLB" from the card last week. I had it done right after facing Francis Ngannou."It's an unfortunate turn for Henrique, who is coming off two straight wins.
