Giga Chikadze-Alex Caceres Pick and Prediction
Giga Chikadze-Alex Caceres Odds
Giga Chikadze: -225 | Alex Caceres: +185
An elite kickboxer, Chikadze has a 14-3 professional record, highlighted by nine knockouts and one submission victory. In the Octagon, he lands 4.05 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 3.35 behind 62% striking defense. Chikadze only averages 0.26 takedowns per bout, but his 69% takedown defense generally has held up. He prefers to fight from the feet and has only been out-landed three times in the UFC. Notably, one of those bouts came against Kattar, where he was outstruck 144-128 and knocked down once.
Caceres also comes from a striking background. He has a 21-13 professional record with four knockouts and seven submissions. However, he has also been knocked out once and submitted seven times. In the Octagon, he lands 4.16 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 2.87 behind 63% striking defense. Caceres lands 0.59 takedowns on average while defending them at 64%. He has now won eight of his last nine fights, losing only to Sodiq Yusuff in the process.
This fight should primarily play out on the feet, where Chikadze should have an advantage. Many of Caceres’ losses come via submission, which should not be much of a threat. While Caceres typically does not look to wrestle, he may have a grappling advantage in this bout. Even with that advantage, Chikadze should be the A-side of this fight. As long as he can avoid grappling exchanges, Chikadze should earn a victory.
