UFC Sao Paulo, Blachowicz vs Souza: Fight Card, Preview, Start Time, Where to Watch

UFC comes back to Sao Paulo, Brazil with a light heavyweight showdown in the main event between Jan Blachowicz and Brazil’s own, Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza. Blachowicz put the light heavyweight on notice with the dominant win against former UFC and Strikeforce champion, Luke Rockhold and he will be expecting a similar outcome against UFC veteran Jacare Souza in the main event of UFC Sao Paulo.

On the other hand, Jacare Souza will be looking for a fresh start in the light heavyweight division. Souza has had some huge wins in the middleweight division, but he has also suffered losses that have kept him away from the UFC title. After the unsuccessful move to light heavyweight by Chris Weidman and Luke Rockhold, it would be interesting to see how does Jacare Souza looks against the Polish fighter, Jan Blachowicz.

In the co-main event, UFC veteran, Mauricio Rua takes on Paul Craig in another light heavyweight showdown. Mauricio Rua will be making his return to the octagon nearly after a year. Although Rua has some incredible wins in his last 5 fights he has not been he has been rather inactive at the later stage of his MMA career. It would be interesting to see whether the UFC veteran will be able to assert dominance against a relatively inexperienced in UFC, Paul Craig. That apart the card features an exciting fight between Charles Oliveira.
