Luke Rockhold and 'Jacare' Souza set to rematch at UFC Fight Night 101
UFC Fight Night 101 takes place Nov. 26 (Nov. 27 in Australia) at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The event will air on FS1. The bout between Rockhold and Souza is the first to be announced for the card.
Rockhold (15-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC), will make his first return to the octagon since losing the title by shocking knockout to late-notice replacement Michael Bisping at UFC 199 in June. Prior to the defeat, he had rattled off five consecutive victories, culminating in a dominant championship-winning performance against Chris Weidman at UFC 194.
“Jacare” Souza (23-4 MMA, 6-1 UFC), lost to Rockhold in a September 2011 Strikeforce bout. He followed that up with an eight-fight winning streak. After dropping a close decision to Yoel Romero at UFC 194, he rebounded with a first-round TKO of Vitor Belfort at UFC 198.
