Ronaldo Souza got his nose smashed and his head thoroughly thumped by Chris Weidman – and that was just the first round. After that, Souza had to dig deep to climb back into the fight, which is exactly what he did in the succeeding rounds before dropping Weidman in the third, bringing an end to the fight at the 2:46 mark of Round 3. The middleweight bout served as the co-main event of UFC 230 in New York City. The preliminary portion of the card aired on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. As well as things ended for “Jacare,” they certainly didn’t start off that way. Weidman (14-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) dominated the bulk of the opening round, stinging Souza (26-6 MMA, 9-3 UFC) with straight rights and popping him repeatedly with quick jabs to the nose.
