Caceres entered the fight ranked No. 15 in the 145-pound weight class.  The loss snapped a two-fight winning streak.  Likely to drop out of the rankings, Caceres will also be out of action for months.  Before the loss, he had won seven of his lat eight fights.  

UFC Singapore took place on Saturday at the Singapore Indoor Stadium in front of 10,263 spectators.  The event marked the sixth time the fight promotion hosted an event in the Southeast Asian country.
