Mixed Martial Arts career
Background
Caceres comes from Miami, Florida where he trains at Young Tigers Foundation. Caceres claims to be "inventive and creative" during the fights, often smiling during competition.[5] Caceres also never went the distance in any of his fights prior to joining the TUF cast.[6] Caceres' nickname, "Bruce Leeroy" stems from the character in the film The Last Dragon.[7]
Early career
Caceres initially fought in an underground backyard street fighting organization in Miami. Caceres mostly appeared in promotions based in Florida. Amongst these was an appearance for the King of the Cage promotion at "King of the Cage: Hurricane" in February 2009. His opponent in that fight was Eric Kovarik, who was coming off multiple consecutive losses. In under two minutes, Caceres submitted his opponent with a rear naked choke.
Caceres then won his next fight against Joel Garcia in May 2009 via submission (triangle choke) early in the first round before going on a two-fight losing streak. These two losses were both by armbar, taking his record to 4-2 at that time.
In his final fight before joining The Ultimate Fighter, Caceres defeated Jahmal McLennan via TKO midway through the third round to snap his losing streak.[8]
The Ultimate Fighter
Caceres then signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship to appear on The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck.[5]
In the debut episode, Caceres faced Paul Barrow, who was 3-0 going into the show. Caceres, who smiled almost the entire fight, would go to defeat Barrow via submission (rear naked choke) in the first round.[9]
In the second episode, Caceres was picked as GSP's fourth pick (eighth overall). Caceres competed in his preliminary round fight during this episode against Jeff Lentz. Prior to the fight, Lentz's cardio was called into question due to his smoking and drinking. However, Lentz went on to arguably win the first round of the fight against Caceres. Midway through the second round, Caceres locked in a triangle choke, forcing the tapout and advancing him into the quarter-finals.[10]
In episode 8, Team GSP had to pick which team members would fight each other (considering they had 5 members in the quarter-finals). St. Pierre asked each member to pick the fighter they would prefer to fight. Both Caceres and Michael Johnson picked each other and they were scheduled to fight.[11] Johnson defeated Caceres via unanimous decision (20-18, 20-18, 20-18) after two rounds in episode 10.[12]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Caceres made his official debut in March 2011 against Mackens Semerzier at UFC Fight Night: Nogueira vs. Davis.[13] He lost the fight via submission in the first round.
Caceres was expected to face Leonard Garcia August 14, 2011 at UFC Live: Hardy vs. Lytle.[14] However, Garcia was forced out of the bout with an injury and replaced by promotional newcomer Jimy Hettes.[15] Caceres was submitted with a rear naked choke at 3:12 of round 2.
Caceres then dropped to the bantamweight division and faced former WEC Bantamweight champion Cole Escovedo on November 12, 2011 at UFC on Fox 1.[16] Caceres won via unanimous decision in a bout where he showed a vastly improved striking and ground game.
Caceres faced Edwin Figueroa on February 4, 2012 at UFC 143 [17] but lost the fight in a split decision. Caceres was docked two points by referee Herb Dean for 2 groin strikes.
Caceres next faced Damacio Page on July 11, 2012 at UFC on Fuel TV: Munoz vs. Weidman.[18] He won the fight via submission in the second round. The finish also earned him the Submission of the Night honors.
Caceres was expected to face promotional newcomer Kyung Ho Kang on November 10, 2012 at UFC on Fuel TV 6.[19] However, Kang was forced out of the bout with an injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Motonobu Tezuka.[20] Caceres defeated the UFC newcomer by split decision.
Caceres/Kang was rescheduled for March 3, 2013 at UFC on Fuel TV 8.[21] Caceres won the back-and-forth fight via split decision. On March 20, 2013, it was announced that Caceres had failed his post fight drug test, testing positive for marijuana. Caceres was subsequently suspended for six months, retroactive to March 3, 2013 and his win over Kang was changed to a No Contest.[22]
Caceres next faced Roland Delorme on September 21, 2013 at UFC 165.[23] He displayed good striking skills and takedown defense, winning the fight via split decision.
Caceres was expected to face Mitch Gagnon on December 7, 2013 at UFC Fight Night 33.[24] However, the bout was scrapped during the week leading up to the event due to an alleged visa issue for Gagnon, restricting his entry to Australia.[25]
Caceres faced Sergio Pettis on January 25, 2014 at UFC on Fox 10.[26] He won the back-and-forth fight by rear-naked choke submission at 4:49 of the third round. The win also earned Caceres his first Fight of the Night and second Submission of the Night bonus awards.[27]
For his tenth fight with the promotion, Caceres faced Urijah Faber at UFC 175 on July 5, 2014.[28] He lost the fight via a rear-naked choke submission in the third round.[29]

Caceres faced promotional newcomer Rolando Gabriel Dy on June 17, 2017 at UFC Fight Night: Holm vs. Correia.[42] Caceres came in strong in round one, knocking Dy off his feet. A brief timeout was called by the referee in round two to check Dy's eye and the fight continued. However, the referee halted the fight at the end of round two due to a doctor's recommendation regarding Dy's eye injury. Dy was noticeably upset by the decision of the referee and Caceres was awarded the win by TKO.[43]
The bout with Wang Guan was rescheduled and eventually took place on November 25, 2017 at UFC Fight Night: Silva vs. Gastelum[44] Caceres lost the back-and-forth fight via split decision.[45]
Caceres was scheduled to face Artem Lobov on April 7, 2018 at UFC 223, but the fight was cancelled due to Lobov's involvement with the Team McGregor bus melee.[46]
