Caceres circles along the outside. Gracie scores with a punch. Caceres continues to circle and fires off a combination. Gracie shoots in and presses him up against the cage. Kron takes the back of Alex and locks in a hook while standing. He takes Caceres to the floor and locks in a body triangle. This is not good for “Bruce Leeroy”. Kron Gracie locks in a rear-naked choke. This is tight. He forces Alex to tapout. Wow. First round finish for Kron Gracie in his octagon debut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
