Away from the Octagon since May, Ronaldo Jacaré is done waiting for a title bout. With no fighter being the clear deserving challenger in his division, he decided to ask to fight anyway.
The UFC agreed and has now announced he will fight Tim Boetsch at UFC 208, in New York. Third-ranked Jacaré will be facing the 14th-ranked middleweight.
The show’s main fight will be Holly Holm vs. Germaine de Randamie, the inaugural women’s featherweight bout.
