Bellator 159 "Caldwell vs. Taimanglo" comes to Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas, on July 22, 2016. The featured fight in the main event that night is a bantamweight showdown between "The Wolf" Darrion Caldwell and "Juggernaut" Joe Taimanglo, winner of three straight.
One bantamweight that won't be seen as a future opponent for either man is Mike Richman. "The Marine" had won two out of his last three since moving down to 135 pounds, but tested positive for banned substances after a loss to Eduardo Dantas at Bellator 137.
Bellator opted to cut Richman loose and not wait out the two year duration of his suspension, but he's not the only baggage the promotion shed on their trip from London, England, back to the states.
