Thackerville, ДОБРА. (Сакавіка 4, 2016) – It’s safe to say Darrion Колдуэлл (9-0) asserted himself as a legitimate title contender with his victory over Джо Уорэн (13-5) у галоўную падзею “Bellator 151: Уорэн супраць. Caldwell” у пятніцу night in front of a sold-out crowd at WinStar Resort and Casino.

As many expected, the fight quickly made it to the mat, з “The Wolf” taking down the self-proclaimed “Baddest Man on the Planet” and initiating a sequence of ground-and-pound offense. After Warren made it back to his feet, the former NC State wrestler suplexed Warren and sunk in a rear-naked choke — that Warren refused to tap to — forcing referee Dan Miragliotta to wave off the bout at 3:23 першага раўнда.

Following the technical submission victory, Caldwell made good use of his time on the microphone with color commentator Jimmy Smith, calling out current bantamweight champion Маркас Гальвао, simply saying: “F*ck you [Маркас] Гальвао, you’re a p*ssy.” That’s nine straight victories for the former NCAA Champion to begin his mixed martial arts career, three wins since making the transition from featherweight to bantamweight. Тым часам, Warren has now dropped two out of three and will not get a shot at the winner of Galvao and Эдуарда Dantas when they do finally meet.

In the co-main event of the evening, Фернанда Гансалес (25-13) extended his winning streak to five at the expense of Гілберт Сміт (12-5), taking home a split decision win (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). The takedowns were likely the difference on the judges’ сістэмы паказчыкаў, but both fighters had their moments over the course of 15 хвілін. Gonzalez now moves even closer to a shot at the 170-pound title, or a matchup with Michael Page, who was originally slated to face “Menifee Maniac” before withdrawing. The future of the division will be much clearer following “Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Henderson” Красавіка 22, калі Бенсон Хендэрсан challenges Андрэй Карашкоў for the welterweight belt.

Ямаучы да (19-3) came into his fight against Bubba Джэнкінс (11-2) riding a wave of momentum after three-straight wins, but the Arizona State wrestling standout used his world-class grappling to neutralize the striking and jiu-jitsu prowess of Yamauchi. The 23-year-old Japanese competitor took the back of Jenkins for the duration of round one and nearly secured an arm bar late in the final round, але “The Highlight Kid’s” effective grappling was the difference, earning the unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-27). Jenkins now has won three consecutive fights since his January 2015 страты Георгій Караханян.

During the opening main card contest at “Bellator 151: Уорэн супраць. Caldwell,” Сирван Какава (12-4) dropped his first fight under the Bellator MMA banner to Joe Taimanglo (22-6-1) аднагалосным рашэннем суддзяў (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). It looked as though “Baby Joe” was going to finish the contest early — sinking in an Anaconda Choke before transitioning to a deep guillotine — but “Zohan” weathered the storm and hung around for the final ten minutes, even creating some bright spots of his own in the third and final round. У канцы, суддзі’ cage side awarded the Guam-native his third consecutive victory and sent Kakai back to the drawing board.

Джо Уорэн (13-4) супраць. Darrion Колдуэлл (8-0)

Warren has just about done it all under the Bellator MMA banner, winning titles at featherweight and bantamweight during his nearly six-year promotional tenure. Зараз, Warren has his sights set on another run with the 135-pound title, a belt he lost during an intense encounter with Маркас Гальвао early in 2015. A 2006 Pan American and World Champion in Greco-Roman competition, the 39-year-old will test himself against a young competitor who excels in the same skillset that Warren has used to his advantage for most of his career, барацьба.

With five impressive outings in a little over a year and a half under the Bellator MMA umbrella, it was only a matter of time before “The Wolf” found himself in a position to compete for a world title. The next stop on the road to championship gold goes through Warren, a man who has held Galvao’s belt already. A standout on the wrestling team at NC State University, the 27-year-old Caldwell most recently submitted Шон Букет via rear-naked choke in the first frame, adding to his tally of finishes (4). Initially a featherweight, Caldwell looks much more comfortable now at 135-pounds and as he proclaimed during a recent interview, “I foresee myself competing against Joe [Трусіны садок] with a No. 1 contender shot on the line, sooner rather than later.”

Фернанда Гансалес (24-13) супраць. Гілберт Сміт (12-4)

Gonzalez took a brief hiatus from MMA to compete in the kickboxing portion of the groundbreaking "Bellator MMA: Дынаміт 1 " event in September, losing a tightly contest decision to world-renowned striker Павел "Семтекс" Дэйлі. Gonzalez now returns to his comfort zone of MMA, where he has strung together an impressive four-fight winning streak. A veteran of the Scott Coker-founded Strikeforce promotion, as well as World Extreme Cagefighting, Gonzalez has been competing professionally since 2003.

Smith will be making his Bellator MMA debut against a fighter who is currently in the midst of a four-fight winning streak. "Поўнач Magic” is on a bit of a roll of his own, coming into the promotion riding a two-bout winning streak. A veteran of UFC and most recently RFA, Smith won the regional promotion’s welterweight belt in June, defending the title one time before signing with Bellator.

Ямаучы да (19-2) супраць. Bubba Джэнкінс (10-2)

Yamauchi comes into the fight riding a wave of momentum he’s caught after wins against Майк Richman, Марцін Стэплтон, і Исао Кобаясі. The 23-year-old Japanese fighter has only lost once in six appearances under the Bellator MMA banner and has notched 15 з яго 19 wins as a professional by way of submission.

It’s hard to ignore Jenkins inside or outside the Bellator MMA cage, being that “The Highlight Kid” also doubles as a podcast host during his free time. The Arizona State alum notched two straight wins to cap off 2015, нядаўна, an impressive offensive display against a promising prospect in Іарданія Парсанс.

Сирван Какава (12-3) супраць. Joe Taimanglo (21-6-1)

Taimanglo will be making his seventh appearance under the Bellator MMA umbrella, and is riding a two-fight winning streak. A Guam-native, “The Juggernaut” has stopped his opponent in 21 of his victories and has only lost twice in his last 14 баі. Look for the 31-year-old to make an impression against the bantamweight division’s newest commodity.

Kakai is one of Bellator MMA’s latest signings, joining the fray after a two-fight stint in the UFC. “Zohan," 26, hails from Sweden and owns 10 finishes in his 12 victories as a professional fighter. With a bantamweight title fight one-week prior and another marquee 135-pound pairing in the main event, it will be interesting to see what a win does for Kakai in the grand scheme of things.
