well, he's only had 3 fights so far...a big delay was roger breaking his arm at the 2004 mundial haha.
it looks like 2006 will be a lot more active MMA wise since he's turning down to compete in the mundial event.
so anyways...in his first fight, i have no idea why they put up jacare (a fan favorite who's had little to no MMA training) up against a vale tudo veteran. macaco's first vale tudo fight was in 95, i wasn't surprised jacare lost.
soo as i've mentioned, he was wayy too brave in his first MMA fight. his stance was bad...hands were low...and his striking was very sloppyyy. even with his sloppy striking, he KEPT coming forward and being aggressive...no matter how many times macaco would tag him, jacare kept coming. sooo eventually, he takes a good shot and falls to the ground. he wasn't totally out, but he was definitely dazed. i don't know, why he didn't go for any takedowns...again...too brave.
in his second match, he goes straight for the takedown...controls the ground way too easily...gets mount...and just explodes with a flurry of punches causing his opponent to tap. quick match (but against a complete roookie)
in his third match (which went down in april) he fought a more experienced fighter who's actually a decent fighter (he lost a decision to pele in his previous match which was pretty good...but i thought he won it). so yeah, again, jacare's stance has improved...he's using jabs instead of throwing sloppy hooks...uses jabs to set up a takedown...gets on the ground and controls it from there easillyyyy...gets mount...kata-gatame...game over...yet another quick match.
i hope he's really tested this year.
