LAS VEGAS – A rare two-point deduction for accidental low blows cost Alex Caceres a victory.
After twice connecting on the illegal shots, Caceres was deducted two points in the second round, and fellow bantamweight Edwin Figueroa squeaked by him for a dubious split-decision victory.
The preliminary-card bout was part of UFC 143 and aired on FX following
additional prelims on Facebook. It preceded a pay-per-view main card at
Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Events Center.
