The action was hot tonight (Fri., July 22, 2016) when Bellator MMA touched down in Mulvane, Kansas, for Bellator 159 live on Spike TV, as Darrion Caldwell challenged Joe Taimanglo in the main event. Caldwell put his undefeated mixed martial arts (MMA) record on the line with a chance to lock down a title shot against current bantamweight champion Eduardo Dantas.
Unfortunately for "The Wolf," he was unable to ward off the late comeback from Taimanglo. For ten-straight minutes, Caldwell was able to utilize his length, athleticism, versatility and strong wrestling to subdue Taimanglo's power on the feet.
