The bout was first announced by Woodson’s management, Iridium
Sports Agency, on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Caceres (21-14) will face Woodson coming off a unanimous decision
loss to Giga
Chikadze in August of last year. “Bruce Leeroy” has emerged
victorious in seven of his last nine Octagon outings, only
recording decision losses against Soddiq Yussuf and the
aforementioned Chikadze.
Meanwhile, Woodson (11-1) will enter the Octagon on a five-fight
undefeated streak, most recently clinching a hard-fought
split-decision victory against Charles
Jourdain at
UFC 297. The
Dana White’s Contender Series alum has wins over the likes of
Kyle
Bochniak, Terrance
McKinney, Dennis
Buzukja and Collin
Anglin.
UFC
on ESPN 56 will notably feature a lightweight clash between
Michael
Johnson and Matt
Frevola along with a light heavyweight meeting between Alonzo
Menifield and
City Kickboxing’s Carlos
Ulberg, among others.
