EXCITING MIDDLEWEIGHT MATCHUP! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to its APEX venue in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sat., April 6, 2024, with an action-packed, five-round main event featuring No. 7-seeded 185-pound contender, Brendan Allen, running it back with No. 14-ranked Chris Curtis. “Action Man” — who is filling in for the “freak” injured Marvin Vettori — scored an upset win over Allen back in 2021 (watch it). In UFC Vegas 90’s ESPN+-streamed co-main event, former Featherweight hopeful, Alexander Hernandez, looks to get back on track at the expense of dangerous Octagon veteran, Damon Jackson.
Choi got the best of Caceres in the first round when he caught the veteran and knocked him to the canvas. However, during a flurry of strikes Choi ended up hitting Caceres with an illegal knee that cost him a point. “Bruce Leeroy” was able to shake it off and continue and good thing he did. In Round 2, Caceres was able to take Choi’s back along the cage and quickly locked in his hooks. From there, Caceres applied the rear-naked choke and forced Choi to the canvas for the tap.
