Like the other fighters on the card at UFC 249, Ronaldo Souza has had to improvise and adapt during his fight camp, but he revealed he had a secret weapon to ensure he heads to Jacksonville in tip-top shape – his wife. “Jacare’s” wife regularly trains crossfit, and Souza (26-8 MMA, 9-5 UFC) has been forced to adapt his training to take advantage of his wife’s at-home training equipment as he gets himself sharp ahead of his fight with Uriah Hall on May 9. “For me, it’s hard, because I have to use my wife’s weights,” he told MMA Junkie with a laugh. “She has a lot of crossfit stuff, and I have to use this. It’s hard. When I trained with her, it made me sore! My wife is so strong, and she helped me a lot.” Another positive to Souza’s upcoming assignment is the location of the fight, itself.
