For whatever reason I'm a big Caceres fan and think he's getting better and better.  Picked against him so will be kicking myself if he shows even more improvement here.

I don't think Caceres always looks mediocre, but I think this is a touch style matchup. Caceres can't really wrestle.

Kang is sick.

As I suspected, training with Stun Gun means he has a very strong top game and you need to be a killer off of your back to stop him. Cacares is good and unorthodox but a killer he is not.

That could all change obviously but looking good so far!
