Ronaldo Jacare He risked moving up a weight category to light heavyweight, but the truth is that his journey started in the worst possible way. Fighting at home, in UFC Sao Paulo, the veteran Brazilian fighter lost, in a split decision, against the Polish Jan Blachowicz.
However, not everything was bad for the Brazilian public, who filled the UFC Sao Paulo. This is because the Brazilian Charles of the Bronx achieved an overwhelming knockout in his fight against the North American Jared gordon, getting closer to being able to face the champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. However, the intentions of the Brazilian, who has the record for the biggest submissions in UFC history, are different: Charles of the Bronx whether Conor McGregor at the beginning of next year.
Jacaré was unable to fulfill his plan and was defeated
The main fight of the night UFC Sao Paulo, the last UFC in Brazil this year, pitted Jacaré against dangerous Blachowicz. The Brazilian veteran's objective was to make the race for the title easier with this increase in weight to light heavyweight, but the truth is that Jacaré's plan went wrong.
In addition to not achieving a single takedown during his entire fight against the Pole, putting into play the strongest and most determining factor in his fighting arsenal, Alligator was not happy with the fight referees. This is because, in a decision that is very controversial, Jacaré ended up losing by split decision against the Pole. A decision that ended up revolting a lot of fans present at the UFC Sao Paulo.
Shogun was also harmed by the judges' decision
The co-main event of UFC Sao Paulo also placed the veteran and legendary Brazilian fighter Shogun Street against the Scottish Paul Craig. In three very well-fought rounds, the truth is that the feeling was that Shogun had done enough in both rounds to get a favorable decision from the three judges.
However, as happened with Jacaré, Shogun did not have the decision in his favor, having managed no more than a draw against Paul Craig, thus somewhat halting their ambitions of being able to overturn the defeat suffered a few months ago against Anthony Smith. “It was unfair”, guaranteed Shogun at the end of the fight, assuring the fans that he won the second round, but that this was not seen by all the judges.

Those who didn't want to wait for the judges' decisions were the always spectacular Charles of the Bronx. The still young Brazilian fighter He is already the fighter in UFC history with the most submissions, proving that he is one of the most dangerous fighters in his weight class, where Khabib Nurmagomedov is still the king.
Still in the first round, Charles of the Bronx he knocked out the American Gordon, marking his presence and justifying his reputation as a natural finisher, with an overwhelming knockout, which promises to be among the best in 2019 in the UFC.
In the interview after the fight, Charles spoke directly to Dana White, stating that he has been with the team for over ten years and has already proven that he is capable of fighting the best in the world. For this very reason, he risked asking for an unlikely fight against the UFC star Conor McGregor. Does the Irishman want to take risks in his return against a fighter who has all that power?
UFC and football dominate Brazilian sport
If Brazilian fighters have managed to prove in the last 20 years of the UFC that they are some of the best in the world, it is no different in football. Proof of this are the Brazil football news which are having more and more weight in world sport.
