SODIQ YUSUFF VS ALEX CACERES LOWDOWN
Soqiq Yusuff’s (11-2) UFC run finally came to an end last year when he met Arnold Allen at UFC on ABC 2. He was riding a six-fight win streak after winning his first four UFC fights which included a knockout over Gabriel Benitez (2019) and a unanimous decision over Andre Fili (2020). He then fell on the wrong side of a decision for the first time in his career almost a year ago now.
Alex Caceres (19-11(1)) is in the form of his life as he walks out for his 26th UFC fight. He is flying on a five-fight win streak which has extended his shaky UFC record to 14-10-(1). The current streak includes unanimous decisions over Steven Peterson (2019) and Chase Hooper (2020). A submission over Austin Springer (2020), and a unanimous decision over Kevin Croom (2021) before another rear-naked choke on Seung Woo Choi (2021).
SODIQ YUSUFF VS ALEX CACERES PREDICTION
They can both grapple, but this should be a thrilling stand-up battle with Caceres boasting a slight height and reach advantage. Yusuff has the edge when it comes to speed and power, but Caceres has the experience and a rare patch of consistent form so he will be very confident. That said, this is not a great match-up for him.
Yusuff is not going to try and take him down and instead pressure him on the feet by Caceres down and unleashing power shots. Caceres is technically sound and has a good chin, so we expect him to stay competitive until the bell, but Yusuff is top tier and should prove it at the APEX.
