Ronaldo Jacare does not hide his dissatisfaction with his current situation in the UFC. Number 3 in the middleweight rankings (up to 84kg), the Brazilian expected to be chosen as the champion's next challenger Michael Bisping, but saw Georges St Pierre jump the queue and leave him far from an opportunity for the title.

Without a fight for the belt, Jacaré was chosen to face the young man Robert whittaker at UFC on Fox 24, April 15, in Kansas City (USA). However, although he is remaining active in the division, he does not rule out retirement if he competes for the title soon.
“I'm happy to be fighting, but I have no problem stopping fighting. I stopped competing in jiu-jitsu in 2005 when I was at the top of my career and if I think it's too much for me and that I'm fed up, I can stop fighting. And that. I can open my own gym and make as much money as I would from fighting and still be happy. I have this dream of opening my gym, so I don't have the problem of stopping fighting (MMA). I'm sure there would be many students. Do the math: 400 students training with me”, he declared, in an interview with the website 'MMA Fighting' (USA).
Ronaldo Jacare, 37 years old, has been in MMA since 2003. In his almost 14-year career, he accumulated 24 wins, four losses and one unsuccessful fight, having won the now-defunct Strikeforce middleweight belt, and beating names like Robbie Lawler, Tim Kennedy, Derek Brunson, Gegard Mousasi e Vitor belfort. In the UFC, there are seven positive results and one negative.
