Souza is the first Brazilian fighter to ink a specialized contract with Reebok, joining fellow international stars Conor McGregor and Joanna Jedrzejczyk among those with Reebok deals separate from the standard UFC uniform clause.
“We think ‘Jacare’ fits very nicely into what we’re doing, and for us he’ll be the face of UFC in Brazil, so it’s a big deal,” said senior director of Reebok combat training Michael Lunardelli. “He’s maybe one of the greatest jiu-jitsu artists who ever lived. He’s amazing. He’s a tactician of the sport.
“We love how versatile he is as a fighter, and we’re very excited to have him on our roster.”
