UFC’s Alex Caceres has considered move to Power Slap, dismisses concerns over brain health

LAS VEGAS – If UFC president Dana White approaches Alex Caceres about participating in his slap fighting league, he just might do it.

Caceres, who meets Julian Erosa in a featherweight bout Saturday at UFC Fight Night 216 at the UFC Apex, told reporters Wednesday that he’d be open to a move to Power Slap.

“I have considered it,” Caceres said during UFC Fight Night 216 media day. “I think it’s hilarious, it’s cool. I don’t know, it’s funny. It’s pain tolerance. I’m pretty sure that’s what it’s mostly about. I figure I have pretty big hands. I know I’m like one of the only 145ers who wears large gloves in the UFC. I think I could be pretty decent at slapping somebody.”
