Exclusive | Alex Caceres feels like he will “get a lot of love” at UFC 223 in Brooklyn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alex Caceres (13-11 MMA) is one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC’s stacked featherweight division.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old will return to action at next weekend’s UFC 223 pay-per-view event<\/a> in Brooklyn where he will square off with fellow mixed martial arts veteran Artem Lobov<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Caceres has gone 3-3 over his past six octagon appearances, his latest being a split-decision setback to Wang Guan this past November in Shanghai<\/a>, China.<\/p>\n

Caceres recently explained to BJ PENN Radio’s Jason Kinch why he expects to “get a lot of love” from fans during his fight with Conor McGregor teammate Artem Lobov at next weekend’s highly anticipated UFC 223 event.<\/p>\n

“I’m very excited. I’m excited to get to compete in Brooklyn. I’ve been to New York. I’ve been to Manhattan before, once. But Brooklyn sounds like a good place. I know there’s a huge Dominican fan base out there. Me being half Dominican, I feel like I’m gonna get a lot of love out there. I don’t know, it’s gonna be really fun man, I can’t wait. It’s really up my alley.”<\/em><\/p>\n

As for how he expects his bout with “The Russian Hammer” to play out, Alex Caceres had the following prediction.<\/p>\n

“There’s so many ways that I envisioned it. I’m looking either at a unanimous decision, while just putting on a clinic. Or I think I’ll get an early submission. There’s so many ways the fight can go, but I do definitely see it going my way every time.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“Bruce Leeroy” went on to explain why he has opted against utilizing trash talk during his professional mixed martial arts career.<\/p>\n

“I have nothing but respect for these guys,”<\/em> stated Caceres. “If my opponents weren’t there, I couldn’t do what I love to do.”<\/em><\/p>\n
