The main card of UFC 175, which will be held on July 5th in Las Vegas, United States, has added another fight. The veteran Urijah faber will face the young man Alex Caceres, in a fight valid for the bantamweight category.
Even though he has never been UFC champion, Faber is one of the organization's biggest stars. Currently, he occupies the first position in the ranking of his category, and in the last four years, he has only lost to the champions José Aldo, Dominick Cruz e Renan Barao.
Caceres, 25 years old, is a former participant in the The Ultimate Fighter. “Bruce Leeroy”, as he is known, made his official UFC debut in 2011, the year in which he had two defeats (to Mackens Semerzier and Jimy Hettes) and one victory (against Cole Escovedo). He then lost to Edwin Figueroa in what remains to this day his last setback. Since then, he has won four victories and one no-contest. In his most recent performance, he played the younger brother of Anthony Pettis, Sergio Pettis, in January this year.
UFC 175, which will be held close to Independence Day in the United States, promises to be one of the biggest events of the Ultimate season. In the main fight, Chris Weidman defends the middleweight belt against Lyoto Machida, and another title will be at stake in the women's category: Ronda Rousey puts your invincibility to the test against Alexis Davis. In addition, the event will also feature the long-awaited fight between TUF Brasil 3 coaches, Wanderlei Silva e Chael Sonnen.
