When Jacare Souza caught Gregard Mousasi trying to sit up and quickly locked in an extremely tight guillotine choke, it became blatant once and for all: despite how packed the middleweight division is, Souza deserves a title shot. Not after taking another fight, but immediately against who ever wins in the Chris Weidman vs. Vitor Belfort title bout later this year. That's it. It's simple. Forget the winner of Rockhold vs. Bisping, for now. Forget the return of Anderson Silva as far as title implications are concerned. Simply book Jacare into a title fight. He has earned it and then some.
