Few months after the middleweight tournament, Ronaldo “Jacaré” Souza will be back in action at Dream. According to the fighter, he’ll fight at Dream 9, which takes place in Japan on May 26th. “I’ll fight at Dream 9, but I still don’t know the name of my opponent”, said the two times BJJ world openweight champion, training hard at Rio de Janeiro for the fight. “The training here are strong. Josuel Distak is taking care of the MMA part, Rogério Camões does the physical training and Daniel helps me with the Muay Thai”.

Training with André Galvão, who debuts in the weiterweight tournament on Dream 8, Jacaré is confident in his success. “He is training hard and did all the training religiously, I just think he trained a little too much (laughs). I’m sure he’ll step up the ring and make everyone happy with his performance. He’ll do great, for sure”, bets. On the same edition, Ronaldo’s last opponent will make his first fight at light heavyweight division after winning the middleweight GP, and the Brazilian thinks he’ll do great against Thierry Sokoudjou. “He (Gegard Mousasi) is a great athlete and will do fine in this new division”.
