Caceres seems keen on getting his name back in the win column after suffering a unanimous decision loss in his previous outing against Giga Chikadze in August. He had won seven of previous eight bouts, with two “Fight of the Night” bonuses. Meanwhile, Woodson, a Dana White’s Contender Series alum, has built a 5-1-1 record in the promotion and carries a five-fight undefeated streak into his latest assignment.
Ahead of the looming battle between Caceres and Woodson, a look at some of the statistical intricacies that exist between them:
11: Caceres is an Octagon veteran in every sense of the word, still going strong in his 14th year in the UFC. With 11 victories in the 145-pound weight class, he occupies the fourth spot for most featherweight wins in history.
7: Caceres has seven decision wins in the world’s premier MMA organization, the fourth-most in the featherweight division.
5: Caceres also occupies the 10th spot in the divisional ranks for most post-fight performance bonuses with five.
50: The Florida native presents a 50% striking accuracy in his fights—a formidable stat that highlights his offensive prowess.
63: Through 14 professional losses, Caceres has only lost one once via knockout, and his 63% striking defense rate proves that opponents find it quite difficult to land clean shots on him.
58: Much like Caceres, Woodson boasts a commendable striking defense at 58%.
62: Woodson exhibits a solid 62% takedown accuracy in his fights.
84: Woodson is very difficult to take down to the ground, harnessing an 84% takedown defense rate through all of his UFC fights.
