After more than 30 professional fights, Kevin Croom finally will get his chance to compete in the UFC. Giga Chikadze has been forced out of UFC on ESPN+ 33, and Croom will step in to face Alex Caceres on Saturday. MMA Junkie confirmed the replacement after an initial report from MMA Fighting on Tuesday. Croom (21-12), a Bellator, Titan FC and LFA veteran, has competed all across major organizations. Training out of Glory MMA in Kansas City, Croom has won his past three in a row, most recently a unanimous decision over Anderson Hutchinson at Fighting Alliance Championship just 12 days ago. Caceres (16-12 MMA, 11-10 UFC) is coming off back-to-back wins for the first time since 2016.
