UFC Fight Night is set to get going this weekend from the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore on Saturday, August 26 at 8 a.m. ET. There is a six-bout main card highlighted by a featherweight fight between No. 1 Max Holloway and No. 8 “Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung Also notable on the main card is a women’s flyweight fight between No.3 Erin Blanchfield and No. 4 Talia Santos.
No. 9 Giga Chikadze (14-3) and No. 15 Alex Caceres (21-13) will meet in a featherweight bout. The former will enter the octagon for the first time in over a year on Sunday. The last time we saw Chikadze, he suffered his first loss in the UFC when Calvin Kattar took him down. Up until that point, he had won seven straight back to 2019. He has yet to earn a title opportunity, but he could earn one soon.
Caceres is looking to pull off an upset and win his third straight bout. He is 4-1 in his last five and looks to be trending the right way in the division. A win on Saturday would be huge for his career and title opportunity. He wins 48 percent of his bouts via decision and another 33 percent via submission.
