Pointed out by many as one of the main names for a future fight for the UFC middleweight belt, Ronaldo Jacare, currently third in the division's official ranking, has the same confidence in himself that is given to him by fans and the specialized press. Speaking to the press during a promotional event for UFC Fight Night 36, an event in which he faces Francis Carmont, Jacaré stated that he sees himself as capable of beating any opponent, even the champion. Chris Weidman.
“I have the perfect style to beat anyone, including Chris Weidman. Many people don't believe in my potential yet, but that's how I like it. I still have a lot to prove, I've only fought twice in the UFC, but I can guarantee that I'm ready for any challenge, in order to prove what it takes to get this title”, said the former champion of the now defunct Strikeforce.
Jacaré also spoke about his opponent in Jaraguá do Sul (SC) on February 15th, the Frenchman Francis Carmont. ”
He is a complete adversary. It comes from the standing part. In the last few fights, he put it down and managed to do a great job with wrestling and jiu-jitsu. He is a difficult opponent to strategize on. He is a good opponent for me, who is coming off consecutive victories. I think he'll explore the standing part more, thinking he's better than me. I will be ready standing or on the ground,” he concluded.
