Hopefully, the third time will be the charm for Ronaldo Jacare and Yoel Romero. After having the fight cancelled twice this year, which led to Jacare subtmitting Chris Camozzi once again and Romero knocking out Lyoto Machida, the pair is scheduled to go at it one more time.
Jacare is aware of Romero's Olympic wrestling skills, but he still believes that the "Soldier of God" will not be able to take him down.
"That's a fight that can unfold in many ways," Jacare told Portal do Vale Tudo. "If it should go to the ground, I won't waste a chance to use my jiu-jitsu and submit him. Every fight starts standing, though. He's an excellent wrestler, the best one in the UFC, but it's not that easy to take Jacare down."
A pivotal match up for the middleweight division, Ronaldo Jacare and Yoel Romero will meet at UFC 194, in Las Vegas, on December 12 in a fight that could decide the next challenger for the title, as champion Chris Weidman takes on Luke Rockhold on the co-main event of the evening.
