Prediction: Caceres  |  Submission  |  Round 1

Alex has gotten better each fight...I think he comes out with a quick win in this one - TKO or knockdown to submission.

Kang was so hyped years ago... he came to the UFC and just ... a;lsdkfj.    Shame really.. he had some awesome fights in PRIDE though.

A JMMA fighter saying someone has beast mode wrestling doesn't really mean a ton to me, and even if he does get the TD I think Caceras has an active enough guard to catch Kang in a sub.  A lot of the Asian fighters are on the card because they are Asian and the event is in Macao, it's not like the UFC was banging down these guys' doors to fight on a card in Vegas.  I'm not trying to knock the Asian fighters, just was trying to make a point that a few guys that we'll see on this card aren't the usual UFC caliber guys.  I'm hoping one or two of them look better than advertised and end up making a splash in the UFC.

Hioki might think Pablo Garza has beast mode wrestling if he's sparring in the US, is there confirmation this sparring happened in Japan?

Prediction: Caceres  |  Decision

Bruce Leroy has really improved every fight and though his record is a bit shaky he's still a legit exciting prospect at BW. He's got some flashy stand up with good kicks and some really slick ground work where he uses his size (a BW at 5'11 and 73 inch reach) to full effect.
I was very impressed by his fights with Escovedo and Page, two serious WEC veterans, and he managed to beat both of them and look pretty damn good while doing it.
I'm thinking Cacares might catch him in a sub but if not I see him taking an entertaining decision.

Caceres sure does get **** on alot for looking like a dude who would play Magic The Gathering or Pokemon, but the dude used to street fight in Miami (Youtube it!) and can take a shellacking.

When he dropped weight, it seemed he was quicker and actually has had more of a gas tank. I hope he wins this one personally.

@Cow A lot of fighters get put on cards just for being local to the region. I'm not going to sleep on them though and if Kang is a decent dog I will fade Caceres.

@cal1  For sure man, I was just trying to point out that with 1000 new MMA sites popping up a month and so much MMA on tv and the net, those of us that follow the sport usually hear about a guy if he really is that good, ie Gunnar Nelson.  I'm not saying Kang isn't good, but I'd sure feel a lot better about picking him if he was someone they signed before the Macao event.

i hope the betting lines come out for this

Kang is going to dominate Alex imo. And to the people think Kang is not a UFC caliber fighter, you are totally wrong. Hes a ROAD FC champion and trains with Stun Gun etc at Korean Top Team, and has amazing takedowns and submissions and is basically undefeated as a BW.

this is a squash match imo, Dana know whats he doing to expand into the Korean market. Kang is one of the most popular fighters in Korea with a huge following and very marketable this is a perfect style matchup for Kang. 

Alex has weak tdd and bad sub defense, this will be exploited fully.
