THACKERVILLE, ಸರಿ. (ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 4, 2016) – It’s safe to say Darrion ಕಾಲ್ಡ್ವೆಲ್ (9-0) asserted himself as a legitimate title contender with his victory over ಜೋ ವಾರೆನ್ (13-5) ಮುಖ್ಯ ಸ್ಪರ್ಧೆಯಲ್ಲಿ “ಫೈಟಿಂಗ್ 151: ವಾರೆನ್ ವಿರುದ್ಧ. Caldwell” ಶುಕ್ರವಾರ night in front of a sold-out crowd at WinStar Resort and Casino.

As many expected, the fight quickly made it to the mat, ಜೊತೆ “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 ಸುತ್ತಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು.

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 ಮಾರ್ಕೋಸ್ Galvao, simply saying: “F*ck you [ಮಾರ್ಕೋಸ್] Galvao, 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. ಏತನ್ಮಧ್ಯೆ, Warren has now dropped two out of three and will not get a shot at the winner of Galvao and ಎಡ್ವರ್ಡೊ Dantas when they do finally meet.

In the co-main event of the evening, ಫರ್ನಾಂಡೊ ಗೊಂಜಾಲೆಜ್ (25-13) extended his winning streak to five at the expense of ಗಿಲ್ಬರ್ಟ್ ಸ್ಮಿತ್ (12-5), taking home a split decision win (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). The takedowns were likely the difference on the judges’ ಸ್ಕೋರುಪಟ್ಟಿ, but both fighters had their moments over the course of 15 ನಿಮಿಷಗಳ. Gonzalez now moves even closer to a shot at the 170-pound title, or a matchup with ಮೈಕಲ್ ಪೇಜ್, who was originally slated to face “ಮೆನಿಫೀ ಹುಚ್ಚ” before withdrawing. The future of the division will be much clearer following “ಫೈಟಿಂಗ್ 153: Koreshkov ವಿರುದ್ಧ. ಹೆಂಡರ್ಸನ್” ಏಪ್ರಿಲ್ 22, ಯಾವಾಗ ಬೆನ್ಸನ್ ಹೆಂಡರ್ಸನ್ challenges ಆಂಡ್ರೇ Koreshkov for the welterweight belt.

ಯಾಮಾಉಚಿ ಅಪ್ (19-3) came into his fight against ಬುಬ್ಬಾ ಜೆಂಕಿನ್ಸ್ (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, ಆದರೆ “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 ನಷ್ಟ ಜಾರ್ಜಿ Karakhanyan.

During the opening main card contest at “ಫೈಟಿಂಗ್ 151: ವಾರೆನ್ ವಿರುದ್ಧ. Caldwell,” Sirwan ಕಕೈ (12-4) dropped his first fight under the Bellator MMA banner to Joe Taimanglo (22-6-1) ಅವಿರೋಧ ನಿರ್ಧಾರ ಮೂಲಕ (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). It looked as though “ಬೇಬಿ ಜೋ” 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. ಕೊನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ, ನ್ಯಾಯಾಧೀಶರು’ cage side awarded the Guam-native his third consecutive victory and sent Kakai back to the drawing board.

ಜೋ ವಾರೆನ್ (13-4) ವಿರುದ್ಧ. Darrion ಕಾಲ್ಡ್ವೆಲ್ (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. ಈಗ, Warren has his sights set on another run with the 135-pound title, a belt he lost during an intense encounter with ಮಾರ್ಕೋಸ್ Galvao early in 2015. ಒಂದು 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, ಕುಸ್ತಿ.

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 ಶಾನ್ ಬಂಚ್ 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 [ವಾರೆನ್] with a No. 1 contender shot on the line, sooner rather than later.”

ಫರ್ನಾಂಡೊ ಗೊಂಜಾಲೆಜ್ (24-13) ವಿರುದ್ಧ. ಗಿಲ್ಬರ್ಟ್ ಸ್ಮಿತ್ (12-4)

Gonzalez took a brief hiatus from MMA to compete in the kickboxing portion of the groundbreaking "ಫೈಟಿಂಗ್ ಎಂಎಂಎ: ಡೈನಮೈಟ್ 1 " event in September, losing a tightly contest decision to world-renowned striker ಪಾಲ್ "semtex" ಡೇಲಿ. 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. "ಮಿಡ್ನೈಟ್ 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.

ಯಾಮಾಉಚಿ ಅಪ್ (19-2) ವಿರುದ್ಧ. ಬುಬ್ಬಾ ಜೆಂಕಿನ್ಸ್ (10-2)

Yamauchi comes into the fight riding a wave of momentum he’s caught after wins against ಮೈಕ್ ರಿಚ್ಮ್ಯಾನ್, ಮಾರ್ಟಿನ್ ಸ್ಟಾಪ್ಲೆಟನ್, ಮತ್ತು ಇಸಾವೊ Kobayashi. The 23-year-old Japanese fighter has only lost once in six appearances under the Bellator MMA banner and has notched 15 ತನ್ನ 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, ಇತ್ತೀಚೆಗೆ, an impressive offensive display against a promising prospect in ಜೋರ್ಡಾನ್ ಪಾರ್ಸನ್ಸ್.

Sirwan ಕಕೈ (12-3) ವಿರುದ್ಧ. 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 ಪಂದ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ. 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.
