Jacare had a very rough time in his last bout against Robert Whittacker. Whittaker faced Ronaldo Souza in April . He won by second-round TKO. The win also earned Whittaker his third Performance of the Night bonus award.
Shaken up Jacare decided to dedicate himself to recovery and went and got a surgery for a pectoral rupture he needed:
“The goal is to come back at the end of the year. I’m feeling well. Two months into my surgery and the movements of my joints are great, I did not miss anything. The recovery is going very well, soon I will be back to training and soon inside the octagon contesting a good fight, “he told portal vale tudo.
Jacare is also moving to Florida for the moment to work on his wrestling:
My focus now is to take care of my injury, learn wrestling and focus on the next trainings. Just as happened against Mousasi, which I lost and then won, I believe that the revenge happens naturally and the result is different. But as it hit me a lot, asking now may sound like an excuse. ”
“The main focus is to learn wrestling, which I need to improve a lot, “said the X-Gym athlete.
