Darrion Caldwell wanted to make a statement Friday at Bellator 151, and boy, he did exactly that. The former NCAA champion put on a flawless performance against the toughest test of his career, manhandling Joe Warren before choking the former Bellator two-division champion out cold with a first-round rear-naked choke. Afterward, Caldwell turned his attention toward Bellator bantamweight champion Marcos Galvao.
"You're a pu**y!" Caldwell shouted to Galvao, who last week withdrew from his Bellator 150 title defense a day before the event due to illness.
Caldwell (9-0) has long been discussed as the future of Bellator's bantamweight division, and on Friday he showed why.
