Don’t write off Ronaldo Souza just yet.

The man they call “Jacare” rebounded from last year’s setback against Robert Whittaker in highlight-reel fashion on Saturday in the main event of UFC on FOX 27, scoring a ruthless first-round knockout over Derek Brunson at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. At 38 years old, having entered the fight as a betting underdog, Souza proved that he is still a force to be reckoned with in the UFC’s middleweight division.

Check out reaction to his cold-blooded performance below, plus the best of the rest from UFC on FOX 27.
