I like Jacare. I think he's easily the #2 MW in the world. He should win this one.

Jacare is one of the best out there. I can't see any way Rockhold comes away with this.

Rockhold never made me say "man this guys good" I think Jacare will take him out easy.

This should be a solid win for Jacare.  It is a shame the division doesn't have much competition for him.

Rockhold is not terrible and is actually a solid prospect coming up at MW. But I don't think he'll have much for Jacare. Him even getting a title shot just shows how shallow SF's MW division is...

Exactly @Kallous and @Danno.  He hasn't fought in a year and a half.. his last fight was on the Challengers series agains Paul Bradley... that earns you a shot in the MW division in SF.  It is good for him, great experience and stuff, but you're right @Danno, very very shallow division there.

Jacare should at least win a decision, if not stop him.

Jacare by submission very early.  His ground game is too good, and his stand-up is actually pretty good.  He'll get this to the ground and tap Rockhold out.

Yea, this is not a good matchup for Rockhold stylistically considering his strength is his groundgame, but there's blackbelt level, and then there is Jacare level. And Rockhold is only a brown belt.

There's only two things i want to see from Souza, either a fight with Kennedy or him in the UFC. Same with Kennedy, Either a fight with Souza or him fighting Bisping in the UFC.... The SF MW division would be obsolete without those two guys.

Im gonna go with Jacare by decision, I dont think he will be able to get the sub on Rockhold

What Rockhold is good at(jiu jitsu) Jacare is WAY better. Jacare gets an easy win.

Jacare should be in the UFC. As far as I'm concerned he's the second best middleweight in MMA right now.
