SAN ANTONIO – It’s not often that a fighter will admit he almost gave up, but a candid Alex Caceres was able to battle through. Injuring his left hand at the start of his fight vs. Steven Peterson on Saturday at UFC on ESPN 4, Caceres (15-12-1 MMA, 10-10-1 UFC) battled adversity early. He found himself trying to fend off a choke, a position he’s all too familiar with. With only one hand to fight off the submission attempt, Caceres had a brief lapse where he almost gave up. With five career losses via rear-naked choke, being in that position was deja-vu for Caceres, who wasn determined not to succumb to the same choke again
