Desperate for a Fight, 'Jacare' Souza's Manager Creates Fake Craigslist Ad

Newsday's Mark La Monica reports that UFC officials have inked Jacare against Tim Boetsch for UFC 208.

Offers to fight the UFC's No. 3-ranked middleweight contender must not be rolling in.

Gilberto Faria, Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza's manager, posted a fake Craigslist ad to his Instagram page Thursday. The post suggested the Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace could be ready for a bout by Feb. 11. UFC 208 in Brooklyn, New York, is scheduled for that date.

Are you 185 pounds and looking for a fight?

If so, Faria suggests you get in contact with UFC President Dana White or Mick Maynard. Maynard is one of the new UFC matchmakers after the departure of Joe Silva.

But it's understandable why fighters are avoiding Jacare. He is one of the toughest fights in the division and has won nine of his last 10 bouts. His lone loss came at UFC 194 in a controversial decision to Yoel Romero.

Perhaps this fun prodding through social media will pique the interest of a willing participant. UFC 208 could definitely benefit from Jacare's presence on the bill.
