Profile:
Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza is a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Hailing from the Amazonas, Jacare has been a perennial top competitor in the sport of BJJ for several years, winning world championships. One of his most famous matches took place against Roger Gracie, in which Jacare's arm was broken by an armbar but he refused to tap as he was ahead on points. He eventually won that match and was crowned the world champion in 2004. Jacare hopes to transition his success in Brazilian jiu-jitsu to the mixed martial arts world.
In 2006 he competed against Randy Couture at the Professional Submission League's second event, which took place in Los Angeles. The two grappled to a draw.
He's known for quick and athletic submissions.
Ronaldo "Jacare" has a brother in Manaus, Brazil named Renato Souza who fights in MMA as well.
