Fan-favorite shockingly leaves UFC after 30 fights and almost 15 years in the Octagon

One of the most exciting hunters in the featherweight division seems to have left the UFC.

Alex Caceres is an old UFC -Fedweight and a former headliner who has been fighting in the Octagon since 2010.

Caceres, an alumnus of 'The Ultimate Fighter 12', has been on the UFC selection for 14 years where he fought like names such as Urijah Faber, Yair Rodriguez, Sergio Pettis and Giga Chikadze.

At the moment, the first ranked competitor is still in the active UFC schedule that makes news about the next fight by Caceres all the more surprising.

Alex Caceres Books Post-Uuc fight on Dirty Boxing Championship

On Monday it was announced that Caceres would not fight for ex-UNC-hunter Kakhramonov in the Octagon, but instead on Mike Perry's Dirty Boxing Championship on 14 June in Miami, Florida.

Dirty Boxing is a new hybrid of combat sports, combining MMA and boxing with four-essence gloves. Fighters can beat, hitting, elbow and even land land and pounding their opponents.

The featherweight battle between Caceres and Kakhramonov is set at Co-Headline DBX 2 with former UFC Heavyweight Competent Jairzinho Rozen bush in the main event against Devon Schwan.

Although the name of Caceres still has to be removed from the active UFC selection, this booking more than probably marks the end of his 30-Vecht UFC career.

DBX did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the UFC release of Caceres.

Dirty boxing is back in Miami on June 14!

We have a stacked map for DBX2-under the guidance of a heavyweight fight between Jairzinho Rozen bush vs. Devon Schwan, and Co-Main event Alex Caceres vs. Saidyokub Kakhramonov.

We also have tons of other veterans from Phil Hawes, … pic.twitter.com/kcficlnwtl

Alex Caceres picked up 8 performance bonuses in UFC Run

Caceres leaves the UFC on a two -foot loss Skid, which falls short in decisions against Giga Chikadze in 2023 and Sean Woodson around this time last year.

'Bruce Leeroy' has a winning record of 16-13 (1 AD) in the Octagon and earned $ 400,000 with eight performance bonuses in his UFC official period.

Caceres brought former interim champion Yair Rodriguez into a split decision in their first main event spot in 2016, where both men received 'Fight of the Night'.

The fan favorite Faveite once went on a five-field win racing in the featherweight division where he defeated the will of Chase Hooper, Kevin Croom and Steven Peterson to be arranged in the top-15.

One of Caceres's best achievements came in 2014, where he submitted former Bellator champion Sergio Pettis in an All-Action fight that caused Caceres $ 100,000 to bonuses after the fight.
