Video: UFC Fight Night 36's 'Jacare' Souza taps out Chris Camozzi

“Jacare “Has stopped five straight opponents, four of them in the first round. The first three came to close out his career in Strikeforce, where the Brazilian went 7-1. Then he moved to the UFC and has back-to-back stoppage wins.

Next up, Souza (19-3 MMA, 2-0 UFC) has another stiff test on the table in the form of Francis Carmont (22-7 MMA, 6-0 UFC). The two meet Saturday in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 36, which takes place Saturday at Arena Jaragua in Jaragua do Sul, Santa Catarina, Brazil.

Souza is ranked No. 4, while Rivera is No. 9 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA middleweight rankings. “Jacare” also has climbed to the No. 15 spot in the pound-for-pound rankings.

In his UFC debut, Souza was supposed to fight Constantinos Philippou at UFC on FX 8 in his native Brazil. But an eye injury took Philippou out of the fight. Chris Camozzi moved up the card on short notice for the fight – and Souza took him out in short order.

Check out the video of Souza’s arm-triangle choke victory from this past May. Then don’t miss as he goes after six in a row, and three straight to start his UFC career. His fight against Carmont airs Saturday on FOX Sports 1.
