Easily the #2 MW in the world right now. I like Jacare too. The guy is fun to watch. Here lately his striking is just getting better and better with each fight. After Anderson retires, I think we'll see this guy step up to the plate and be the next dominate MW in the world.

That question could be asked about many other MMA fighters to be fair.

He does have one of the best post-win celebrations though

I agree, Jacare is the man!  I'm becoming a big fan of this guy quickly.  His style is so aggressive, and his grappling is phenomenal.  I'm also impressed with the stand-up he displayed against Tim Kennedy in their recent bout.  Both Tim Kennedy and Jacare could do some damage in the UFC, I think.

Yeah, Jacare is awesome. With Anderson Silva destroying everyone he's fought except Sonnen, I doubt it will be too long before they bring him over.

Jacare may be the most under-rated MW out there right now.

Is he rumored to be fighting soon?  It has been a while since his last fight.

Really?  That doesn't do anything for him.

No it doesn't.  Lets hope that Jacare makes quick work of Rockhold so he can move on to more meaningful fights.  I personally would love to see him fight Anderson Silva.  If he could get the fight to the ground, it could make for a very intriguing fight.

Jacare gets that fight to the ground and he won't lose.
