The most recent season of the Ultimate Fighter was produced with the singular goal of creating a fresh challenger for increasingly dominant flyweight champion Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson. In the end, the winner of this season was UFC veteran and former Titan FC champ Tim Elliott. With this TUF win, Elliott was then pencilled in for a title fight against Mighty Mouse. And though very few people gave him much of a chance against the dominant flyweight king, he actually put up a remarkably good fight. In the end, however, Mighty Mouse walked away with a unanimous decision win, leaving Elliott’s title dreams momentarily dashed.

Following Yoel Romero’s UFC 205 win over Chris Weidman in 2016, UFC President Dana White confirmed that Yoel Romero would be getting the next middleweight title shot against Michael Bisping when the champ is ready to return from a knee surgery. Bisping of course, in his time off, has been pushing for a superfight with welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, who recently was booked for a UFC 209 fight with Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson. Despite that, Bisping has maintained that a fight with Romero isn’t at the top of his wish-list, but maintained that he would fight the Cuban Olympian.

This Saturday, on the main card of UFC 208, Tim Boetsch will take on the incredibly dangerous Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza. If he’s able to spring the upset against this highly regarded foe, he will find himself in the top-end of the middleweight rankings, where fights with foes like Chris Weidman, Gegard Mousasi, Yoel Romero, and champ Michael Bisping could await. All four of the aforementioned men, of course, are currently busy. Weidman and Mousasi will duke it out at UFC 210, while Bisping and Romero are expected to fight for the title sometime in the next few months.

This weekend, on the main card of UFC 208, middleweight contender Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza will take on the unheralded but undeniably dangerous Tim Boetsch. If he’s able to pass this test, the next step would seem to be a bout with the winner of champ Michael Bisping and challenger Yoel Romero’s yet-unscheduled title fight. Jacare, however, is not confident this is the way things will unfold.

This weekend, on the main card of UFC 208, Tim Boetsch will face one of the biggest tests of his long career in Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza. Given that Jacare stands out as one of the middleweight division’s top contenders, and Boetsch currently sits on the fringes of the divisional top-15, the announcement of this fight was admittedly a bit of a head-scratcher. That said, Boetsch doesn’t plan to let the opportunity go to waste. Though he knows a prolonged grappling exchange with Jacare is a dangerous possibility, he believes he can out-strike the Brazilian contender, knock him out, and usurp his spot in the top end of the middleweight rankings.
