After his recent victory at UFC Fight Night in Brazil, Former Strikeforce Middleweight Champion, Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza stated that he will take any fight that his employer the UFC puts in front of him. Though he will do what his employer tells him to do, he expressed some interest in the UFC's 205lb weight class to take on some new challenges. The name that his camp has expressed the most interest in is Phil Davis, the UFC's #3 Light Heavyweight.
So far there has not been a response from Davis' camp.
I think that this yet another good fight to test both athletes. It will be a good fight for Souza if he wants to move up to 205 for a fight. Davis is a little larger than Souza at 205, but not too large where it will be a huge problem. Also if Davis can beat Souza, who is an elite UFC Middleweight, he can probably erase the doubt that he has left in the MMA community that his judges' decision over Machida was inaccurate. It is a HUGE statement of one man can beat the other. Both men are excellent at grappling and use their superior grappling to overwhelm their opponents. I personally think that the UFC could've put Glover Teixeira against Davis and let the two of them battle it out for the next title shote, but that's another story for another day.
