HIGH STAKES LIGHTWEIGHT MATCHUP! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to UFC APEX on Sat., Sept. 23, 2023, with a high stakes 155-pound showdown as No. 6-ranked contender, Rafael Fiziev, takes on No. 7-seeded Mateusz Gamrot. In UFC Vegas 79’s co-main event, No. 12-ranked Featherweight contender, Bryce Mitchell, steps back into the Octagon against No. 13-seeded Dan Ige.
Choi got the best of Caceres in the first round when he caught the veteran and knocked him to the canvas. However, during a flurry of strikes Choi ended up hitting Caceres with an illegal knee that cost him a point. “Bruce Leeroy” was able to shake it off and continue and good thing he did. In Round 2, Caceres was able to take Choi’s back along the cage and quickly locked in his hooks. From there, Caceres applied the rear-naked choke and forced Choi to the canvas for the tap.
