Yet another bout added to the upcoming UFC on Versus 5 card by UFC officials late Tuesday night, is a featherweight matchup between Alex ‘Bruce Leeroy’ Caceres (4-3) and Leonard ‘Bad Boy’ Garcia (15-7-1).
The Ultimate Fighter 12’s Alex “Bruce Leroy” Caceres will look for his first UFC win on August 14th in Milwaukee, when he faces veteran action hero Leonard “Bad Boy” Garcia in a bout verbally agreed to late Tuesday night.
UFC on Versus 5 (aka UFC Live: Milwaukee till a headlining event is identified) is scheduled to take place on Aug. 14 at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The event marks the first visit by the UFC to Wisconsin. With the addition of the Cacares vs. Garcia matchup, the card is likely full as there have been ten bouts identified for the Milwaukee event.
‘Bruce Leeroy’, most famous for his time on “The Ultimate Fighter” season 12, made his UFC debut last March at UFC Fight Night 24, losing by first round submission to Mackens Semerzier at the Seattle event. Caceres was to have debuted at the “TUF 12 Finale” against fellow housemate Nam Phan, but was forced out due to injury. Phan was then scheduled to fight Garcia at the Las Vegas event.
Garcia is 1-2 in his last two fights, having gone 1-1 in his with the UFC since returning after the WEC merger. As stated he met Phan at the “TUF 12 Finale” where ‘Bad Boy’ earned a controversial split decision win, in a fight that earned both men the “Fight of the Night” bonus. That bonus was his third “Fight of the Night” bonus in his last five fights. His last fight was a rematch against his “Fight of the Year” opponent the “Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung. Both met at UFC Fight Night 24, but it was Jung who would earn the win, and the submission bonus, by using a twister to end the fight in the second round.
