The UFC holds its best fight card in months with a sensational television offering headlined by a middleweight clash between top contenders ‘Jacare’ Souza and Gegard Mousasi. The rest of the card is also filled with important bouts and noteworthy names from heavyweight to flyweight.
Will Jacare prove he deserves a title shot next or is Mousasi about to repeat his success over the Brazilian once again? What: UFC Fight Night: Jacare vs. Mousasi (UFC Fight Night 50) Where: Foxwoods Resort Casino, Ledyard, Connecticut When: Friday, the six-fight preliminary Fox Sports 1 card starts at 7 p.m. ET and the four-fight Fox Sports 1 main card starts at 10 p.m.
Ronaldo Souza vs. Gegard Mousasi This is a tough one and I agonized over this pick. I’m going to side (however reluctantly) with Mousasi. The key for me is two things. First, Mousasi’s takedown defense and ability to create/win scrambles has gotten very good. Second, Jacare’s striking is also dramatically better, but more reactive and single shot. Jacare is going to have some success getting the takedown and threatening with bad positions, but I’d like to believe Mousasi is going to make him work for it significantly more.
