Alan Patrick was missing a key collaborator in his corner a week ago at UFC 169, but it didn’t matter. He still came out on top. Patrick’s mentor, Ronaldo Souza, didn’t make the trip to Newark, N.J., because he was prepping for his own fight, which takes place this week in Brazil. But Patrick (12-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) said he was able to get by without “Jacare” with him against John Makdessi (12-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) en route to a unanimous decision win. “I didn’t miss Jacare’s physical presence because I always feel him with me,” Patrick told MMAjunkie.
