Croom has underrated striking too and can very well end fights with his hands. But, he thrives on the grappling aspect of the game, and can lock up his opponents from any position, as is his versatility.

Caceres is the younger fighter and has been fighting UFC caliber oppositions for almost a decade. Croom lacks that experience to fight on the grandest stage of all, and that can work against him in this fight. But, if he can establish his authority, and follow along with his game plan, he should come out victorious.
