Giga Chikadze doesn’t believe that Alex Caceres will try to strike with him when they collide at UFC Singapore. After more than 18 months away, Giga Chikadze will return to the Octagon this weekend. He’ll do so when he collides with veteran Alex Caceres, as he attempts to get back into the win column following a long lay-off. That time away largely came as a result of his battle with Calvin Kattar, in which he was emphatically beaten by unanimous decision in January 2022.

UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski has hit back at Giga Chikadze following the Georgian’s recent criticism.

Chan Sung Jung was happy to oblige and now, the pair will square off for the 145-pound title at UFC 273.

Giga Chikadze has suggested that former featherweight champion Max Holloway would be an easier fight for him than the current champ, Alexander Volkanovski. Currently ranked at #8 in the featherweight division, Chikadze is a rising star at 145lb and is arguably one of the most in-form fighters in the UFC.

UFC featherweight contender Edson Barboza reacted following his recent third-round knockout loss to Giga Chikadze at UFC Vegas 35. Barboza suffered a tough loss to Chikadze when he was finished with strikes in the third round for his second loss as a featherweight at last weekend’s UFC Vegas 35 card. The 35-year-old Brazilian moved down to 145lbs last year and had gone 2-1 heading into this fight with Chikadze, so a win would have been huge for him. But he lost the fight in a devastating fashion and it’s hard to know what is going to happen next for Barboza given this was such a lopsided loss to Chikadze. He actually took about a week’s timeout from social media after the fight, but now it appears he is ready to get back into the limelight.
