At UFC Phoenix media day, Alex Caceres discusses going back to the child he was without "false machismo," MMA feeling like less of a job now, not knowing who Kron Gracie was before the fight was booked, Gracie saying he wanted a better opponent and now.

He is always exciting to watch rooting for him.

[@claydogmadman7843]

john doe Zabit vs Cacera... Exciting vs Spectacular...

[@Alchemistic88]

Been a fan of his since TUF. Always overlooked, has had some tough fights, but there was always something unique about Bruce Leeroy 🙂

[@claydogmadman7843]

Alchemistic Academician I need to see him go against Zabit... Talk about a fun fight...

[@jokatech]

Yeah. He uniquely keeps getting his a÷% kicked

[@seanoxborough8595]

Yeah ok. Guys got strangled

[@maliceburgoyne495]

Soft spoken killer. I remember this maniac when his was bare knuckle brawling in those illegal fight-club leagues. People love to hate this dude but oddly, he’s performed his best when he’s an underdog. Kron said he wanted a “tougher opponent” and wasn’t happy with this one. Hmm, lotta humble pie been passed around the UFC this past year...

[@mark4386]

lol no helpings for kron though.

[@KingMo98]

@@mark4386 Don't worry Cub served him well :D

What a nice, honest interview

One of my faves. Nice guy, good fighter. All the best Bruce Leroy!!!

Or he takes his time and thinks before he speaks?

[@Shadykraig]

What a down to earth guy. Definitely a fan and I will be rooting for you Alex

[@HonestHoel]

Always been a big fan of Bruce Leroy. He had his ups and downs but he’s always entertaining. Can’t wait for Sunday.

[@UnknownMMA]

We just interviewed Alex as well and the philosophy continued! Plus more!

[@anumanuva2431]

Come on Bruce Leeroy.... You got this...

[@richw76]

Wow, I have to be honest, I still thought of him as Bruce Leroy from the ultimate fighter. Then I realized that show was years ago and I'm glad I saw this interview. Good luck Mr Caceres.

[@chrisherrera228]

Damn Idk who to root for

[@sherekhan420u2]

The darker one

[@BUK7550]

Root for a good fight?

[@jasper_of_puppets]

I do. Bruce Leeroy all the way.

[@yt_baphomet]

This is a tough test for Kron. I still got him via round two RNC but I’m hyped on this one. I think Alex’s wrestling def has always been his weakness cause he sells out on spinning attacks and headkicks but if he comes in and just uses his hands I think he has more than enough to touch up Kron & stack some damage.

[@phillipdeuser7561]

Stop reading my mind

[@Combatsportscoverage]

He’s out look on life is so unique I love it

[@OG_Jin_Bling]

So lucky that Artem got pulled from the NY card or he would have really reverted back to childhood, like pre-birth limbo soul state.

[@monkeyx17]

artem would of taken his soul,

[@kung_fu_licious7051]

On board with you Alex 🥊🥋🥊

[@potfreemason420]

Alex Caceres is a cool dude. Always exciting. He always fights skilled fighters, so his record isn't the greatest, but Kron and him should put on an exciting fight. Now I gotta find someone with ESPN lol.

[@travisdressels2204]

search Reddit MMA streams when the card starts

[@KadoTheNorm]

Allwrestling. Com has great streams, dude who reccomended reddit.com/mmastreams.com has the right idea too.

[@VICIOUS209]

Mad respect on his outlook on life.

[@zballer45j15]

Good guy, hope he has a good year

[@jeanbetancourt8932]

I love watching him fight. Exciting style. Good luck Alex!🎉

[@sammommi7954]

Alex just earned a fan. It's nice to see he's grown up

[@lowstress420]

I like this dude, wise cool and open , i wish more fighters was like this..really cool and wise man

[@thaddcorbett2148]

Always loved this guy and wish he'd always win.

[@jeepz669]

What an awesome dude 💯

[@sbgroen]

Good thoughts, Alex. Very cool.

[@claydogmadman7843]

The UFC only keeps Alex Cacera around because he so exciting and nothing more... Talk about a fighter who knows how to keep his job with the UFC, this man is it...

[@vesuveking3465]

That was deep

[@yourrightsareturnedoff.lea8652]

Alex " The Real Estate Agent" Caceres.

[@fckmexico8987]

Honest interview, go Leroy!!

[@mcsuchnsuch]

Looking back, this guy had some tough fights. Hope he fulfills his goal and earns those houses.

[@cynnx7500]

much better and insightful questions, when compared to all the crap mma reporters: "So this fighter said you have weak stand-up, what is your response???" Good stuff MMAFightingonSBN!! keep up the good interviews

[@menacingjackal5990]

Man this guy is awesome !

[@pedrodomingo180]

Master!!👐

[@jackjackson3879]

This guys ability to evade strikes is so natural and always amazing to watch if he was a better boxer hed be more dangerous

[@aldolopez]

The first style bender! Dale!

[@Johan505-]

Wise words.

[@lamasu]

I'm not going to be surprised at all if he wins tonight. He has a knack for rising to the occasion when people try to look past him.

[@fuckingkimura]

Bruce Leroy always had flashes of brilliance. His performance against a much more experienced Urijah Faber was incredible despite the loss, let's see if he can fulfil his full potential

[@p4pgoatc.j.watson679]

He brings a growth mindset especially to his gardening.

[@loub8294]

Should be a great fight!

[@scotttillman01]

Have always like Alex. He's always entertaining and fun to watch.

[@isolatedsurge967]

top 3 of my all time fav fighters right here...cowboy and artem is also on the list....u know who is #1....

[@The_Isaiahnator]

Bruce Leeroy! He's inconsistent, but still has flashes of brilliance. Let's hope he comes out with his A-game.

Damn! This dude knows whats up. Straight up origin-AL, Express urself!!!

[@OrlandoR956-vm7yk]

Rooting for alex !

[@Combatsportscoverage]

Hope he wins.

[@a.caguax78]

I've always been a fan of Alex, but hes gonna get choked out. He is not aware of the danger he is in with Kron's grappling skills. The "one trick pony" is a helluva trick. It took guys like Ben Askren and Khabib to undefeated records and championship belts.

[@ThePubbub]

Seems like they're both underestimating each other. But for Alex to say he isn't interested in Jiu Jitsu I think tips the cap in Kron's favor. At least Kron has Nate for sparring.

[@JosephAkub]

Why nobody ever says that he looks so much like Les Twins?

[@rjames1951]

Entertaining fighter puts art into mixed martial arts.

[@theDavidChannel1]

Good to see Alex knows Kron disrespected him. Hope he takes it to him.

[@jordand1437]

Should have been on the Miami card 💯

[@FatalRose]

Great fighter

[@LaurentSaintJean]

Compare Kron vs Alex interviews for mental agility and wit: Alex win hands up

[@USER-qs9od]

I think he's gonna walk through kron easily even survive some grappling exchanges

[@mark4386]

lol u goofed

Kron's BJJ is on a different level, though.

[@USER-qs9od]

yet opponents with lesser quality have got top position on him

[@MrJoaoAfonso]

I understand you didn't know your opponent as you prefer to train rather then watching the sport. But you should know who is kron gracie you should...

Please stay at a distance and strike, DONT GRAPPLE PLZ ALEX

[@radicaled5001]

If he uses his foot work and boxing only throws kicks sparingly he will win....krons striking is awful....but if it hits the mat I see a rnc for kron....hope Alex picks him apart

He will get stopped
