UFC Fight Night on FOX Sports 1: Jacare vs. Mousasi viewing and schedule guide
Two of the best middleweights in the world will square off in the five round main event from Connecticut as Ronaldo 'Jacare' Souza looks to avenge an earlier loss to Gegard Mousasi when they face off with title implications potentially on the line.
Jacare has looked better than ever since coming to the UFC three fights ago, but the last time he faced Mousasi the Brazilian ended up knocked unconscious courtesy of an up kick from the former kickboxer. Now Jacare will look to solidify his spot at the top of the division while hopefully getting a win over Mousasi.
Also on the card, former K-1 Grand Prix champion and Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem takes on heavy handed fighter Ben Rothwell in the co-main event.
