LAS VEGAS – Alex Caceres thinks his career is very much on the up and that there are even better days ahead for him in the octagon.
Despite being 34 and with 12-plus years of UFC experience under his belt, Caceres (20-13 MMA, 15-11 UFC) thinks he’s just now coming into his prime as a fighter. Caceres returns Saturday for what will be his 27th UFC fight. It takes place on the main card of UFC on ESPN 45 vs. Daniel Pineda (28-14 MMA, 5-5 UFC).
“I feel like I can have a very long career,” Caceres told reporters at the UFC on ESPN 45 media day. “I don’t feel like I’m slowing down. I feel like I’m coming into my own just now. I don’t feel a day older than when I started. If anything, I feel more athletic, more cardio-vascularly sound, sometimes younger than I was in my 20s.
