Thackerville, OKAY. (Marzo 4, 2016) – It’s safe to say Darrion Caldwell (9-0) asserted himself as a legitimate title contender with his victory over Joe Warren (13-5) en el evento principal de “Bellator 151: Warren vs. Caldwell” el viernes night in front of a sold-out crowd at WinStar Resort and Casino.

As many expected, the fight quickly made it to the mat, con “El lobo” taking down the self-proclaimedBaddest Man on the Planetand 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 chokethat Warren refused to tap toforcing referee Dan Miragliotta to wave off the bout at 3:23 de la primera ronda.

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 Marcos Galvao, simply saying: “F*ck you [Marcos] 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.

The takedowns were likely the difference on the judges’ cuadros de mando, but both fighters had their moments over the course of 15 acta. Gonzalez now moves even closer to a shot at the 170-pound title, or a matchup with Michael Página, who was originally slated to face “El Menifee Maniac” before withdrawing. The future of the division will be much clearer following “Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Henderson” Abril 22, cuándo Benson Henderson desafíos Andrey Koreshkov for the welterweight belt.

 

Yamauchi arriba (19-3) came into his fight against Bubba Jenkins (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.

Jenkins now has won three consecutive fights since his January 2015 la pérdida de Georgi Karakhanyan.

During the opening main card contest at “Bellator 151: Warren vs. Caldwell,” Sirwan Kakai (12-4) dropped his first fight under the Bellator MMA banner to Joe Taimanglo (22-6-1) por decisión unánime (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). It looked as thoughBaby Joewas going to finish the contest early — sinking in an Anaconda Choke before transitioning to a deep guillotine — butZohanweathered the storm and hung around for the final ten minutes, even creating some bright spots of his own in the third and final round. Al final, los jueces’ cage side awarded the Guam-native his third consecutive victory and sent Kakai back to the drawing board.

A standout on the wrestling team at NC State University, the 27-year-old Caldwell most recently submitted Shawn Bunch via rear-naked choke in the first frame, adding to his tally of finishes (4).
