Featherweight standouts Giga Chikadze and Alex Caceres are set to meet on Aug. 8 at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
The bout was first reported by BJPENN.com and confirmed to MMA Fighting by people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans. The bout order for the event has not been finalized, but the card will be headlined by a heavyweight fight between Derrick Lewis and Aleksei Oleinik, and featured is a middleweight matchup between ex-champ Chris Weidman and Omari Akhmedov.
For Caceres, the bout marks another chance to deflate the hype of a lesser-experienced octagon opponent.
