Report: Alex Caceres vs. Martin Bravo headed for TUF 27 Finale in Las Vegas
A month after his fight was ripped from UFC 223 with little warning, Alex Caceres is set to return this summer.
Caceres (13-11 MMA, 8-9 UFC), according to a report from the Las Vegas Review-Journal, will meet Martin Bravo (11-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) in a featherweight fight at the TUF 27 Finale in Las Vegas during the UFC’s “International Fight Week.” UFC officials have not yet made a formal announcement of the matchup.
The Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale takes place July 6 at Pearl Theater in Las Vegas. The event airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
Caceres was scheduled to fight Artem Lobov at UFC 223 a month ago in Brooklyn. But after the infamous Conor McGregor incident, Lobov was removed from the card due to his alleged involvement. That left Caceres without a fight.
Caceres has dropped three of his past four fights. After back-to-back wins in his return to featherweight in 2016 against Masio Fullen and Cole Miller, he dropped consecutive fights to Yair Rodriguez and Jason Knight. He rebounded in Singapore nearly 11 months ago with a TKO over Rolando Dy, but dropped a split call in China to Wang Guan this past November.
Martin Bravo
Bravo is coming off the first loss of his pro career. After a TKO win over Claudio Puelles at UFC Fight Night 98, he returned in August 2017 and was knocked out by Humberto Bandenay at UFC Fight Night 114 in his home country of Mexico.
