Alex Caceres to Face Sean Woodson at UFC on ESPN 56 in St. Louis on May 11

A featherweight clash pitting Alex Caceres against Missouri's own Sean Woodson has been added to the UFC Fight Night event set to take place at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri, on May 11.

The bout was first announced by Woodson’s management, Iridium Sports Agency, on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Caceres (21-14) will face Woodson coming off a unanimous decision loss to Giga Chikadze in August of last year. “Bruce Leeroy” has emerged victorious in seven of his last nine Octagon outings, only recording decision losses against Soddiq Yussuf and the aforementioned Chikadze.

Meanwhile, Woodson (11-1) will enter the Octagon on a five-fight undefeated streak, most recently clinching a hard-fought split-decision victory against Charles Jourdain at UFC 297. The Dana White’s Contender Series alum has wins over the likes of Kyle Bochniak, Terrance McKinney, Dennis Buzukja and Collin Anglin.

UFC on ESPN 56 will notably feature a lightweight clash between Michael Johnson and Matt Frevola along with a light heavyweight meeting between Alonzo Menifield and City Kickboxing's Carlos Ulberg, among others.
