Muniz produced a career-best performance to submit Souza with a slick first-round armbar, that shattered his countryman’s arm.
The battle of Brazilians began with a prolonged feeling out, with Jacare being the more tentative of the pair.
Andre Muniz, however, soon found himself on his back eating bombs after being taken down.
But the 31-year-old eventually made his way back to his feet by creating distance with a push kick from his back.
Moments later, Muniz brought the fight back down to the canvas with a takedown of his own.

Jacare, 41, managed to get back to his feet and eventually forced a separation before doing so again seconds later.
Muniz, however, managed to take Jacare’s back and looked to set up a rear-naked choke.
But Sergipano began to slide down his opponent’s back, which allowed him to grab his arm and cinch in a nasty armbar.
And the pressure placed on the limb by the former Jungle Fight middleweight led to a sickening break.
Defeat to Muniz was Jacare’s fourth loss on the bounce and fifth in his last six outings.
Muniz, meanwhile, is now on an impressive seven-fight win streak.
