He stands at five-foot-nine and holds a 15-12 professional MMA record with seven of those wins from decisions. Caceres made his mark in the UFC in March 2011 but it took him some time before coming up with wins. From July 2012 to January 2014, he won four straight fights but after that, Caceres lost three straight. He has struggled to stay afloat after that as his next nine matches was a see-saw ride. Caceres is coming off a win in UFC on ESPN 4 against Steven Peterson via unanimous decision and hopes to capitalize on that.
