ALEX CACERES VS SEUNG WOO CHOI LOWDOWN
Alex Caceres (18-12(1)) is currently enjoying his longest winning streak 24 fights into his UFC career. After being fed to and submitted by Kron Gracie in 2019 to go 9-10(1) in the UFC, he has strung four solid wins together. He earnt unanimous decisions over Steven Peterson and Chase Hooper before submitting Austin Springer and now he is coming off another unanimous decision in February over Kevin Croom.
Seung Woo Choi (10-3) is currently on a three-fight streak after losing his first two UFC fights. He had a tough start to his UFC career, stepping up on short notice to take on Movsar Evloev for his debut losing a unanimous decision. He returned three months later to fight Gavin Tucker but got submitted in the third round. He responded to those losses by outpointing Suman Mokhtarian the same year and did not return until February this year where he earnt another unanimous decision over Youssef Zalal following it up with a clinical TKO over Julian Erosa three months ago.
ALEX CACERES VS SEUNG WOO CHOI PREDICTION
This will be a fun fight between Caceres’ kickboxing and Choi’s Muay Thai. Caceres is in the form of his life, but Choi is a much tougher fight than his previous opponents. Caceres is a tricky southpaw with good movement, but we will back Choi in the striking exchanges.
The South Korean will have a slight height and reach advantage and will be confident in out striking Caceres. He is an accomplished Muay Thai fighter and as we saw in the Erosa fight, he has the power to match his technique.
Caceres will be a lot harder to hit but Choi’s power should make the difference. We expect this to be a close and exciting striking battle with Choi, landing more volume and significant strikes with Caceres’ defence dragging this out to the bell.
