Alex Caceres and Sean Woodson are set to go head-to-head on the main card of UFC on ESPN 56 at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis. Here’s a detailed look at this matchup provided by MMA Junkie analyst Dan Tom.
In this event, Caceres and Woodson will be the only featherweight fighters competing. Caceres, holding a record of 21-14 in MMA and 16-12 in UFC, is aiming for a comeback after a loss to Giga Chikadze in August. On the other hand, Woodson boasts a record of 11-1-1 in MMA and 5-1-1 in UFC, riding on a winning streak with four victories and one draw in his last five matches.
Despite not having faced UFC-level southpaws yet, Woodson has demonstrated his ability to close stance and launch attacks from different angles. Both fighters are skilled in striking, setting the stage for what could be an engaging showdown.
Woodson is the clear favorite with odds of -215, while Caceres is considered the underdog at +172. The fight is slated to kick off at approximately 7:40 p.m. ET on ESPN and ESPN+.
