UFC middleweight Andre Muniz stunned the world on May 15, 2021, when he became the first man to submit Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza. Muniz came into his fight against the aging veteran and claimed to have better Jiu-Jitsu than ‘Jacare’. Many fans brushed off Muniz’s claim, however, he had the last laugh under the bright lights.

The fight was largely back and forth with both men landing some strong punches from the get-go. However, when the fight went to the canvas, Muniz proved that he’s extremely slick and ended up breaking Souza’s arm. ‘Jacare’ is as tough as they come and didn’t tap out instead leaving the referee to stop the fight.
