Alex Caceres is pondering a move to Power Slap.<\/p>\n

Caceres has been in the UFC since 2011 and has a record of 14-11 and one No Contest inside of the Octagon. ‘Bruce Leeroy’ has been a fan favorite and has fought at both bantamweight and featherweight, and although he is still having success, he is thinking about joining Power Slap.<\/p>\n

Of course, Power Slap is the new Slap Fighting League created by Dana White<\/a> which is set to debut in January. When it was announced, many wondered if UFC fighters would want to take part, and Caceres – who’s set to face Julian Erosa<\/a> at UFC Vegas 66 – says he is interested in doing it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have considered it, I think it\u2019s hilarious, it\u2019s cool, I don\u2019t know, it\u2019s funny. It\u2019s pain tolerance. I\u2019m pretty sure that\u2019s what it\u2019s mostly about,” Caceres said at media day (via MMAJunkie<\/a>). “I figure I have pretty big hands; I know I\u2019m like one of the only 145ers who wears large gloves in the UFC. I think I could be pretty decent at slapping somebody.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if he was okay with the potential brain damage from slap fighting, Alex Caceres made it clear tons of stuff aren’t good for you. Instead, he says it’s his life and other things have negative impact on your health as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cNeither is smoking cigarettes, neither is working in factory plants, neither is eating bad food or getting punched in the head for a living like I do,” Caceres said. “I mean, a lot of things are dangerous. Sitting still is dangerous. Being too sedentary can mess up your brain. So, yeah, take your chances. It\u2019s your life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alex Caceres (19-13) is coming off a decision loss to Sodiq Yusuff back in March. Prior to that, he was on a five-fight winning streak. During that win streak, he beat Seung Woo Choi, Kevin Croom, Austin Springer, Chase Hooper, and Steven Peterson.<\/p>\n
