The rematch between Darrion Caldwell and Kyoji Horiguchi is set.
Caldwell will defend his Bellator bantamweight title against Horiguchi at Bellator 222 on June 14 in New York City. Rizin FF head Nobuyuki Sakakibara noted that the fight was a go after Rizin FF 15 on April 21, and Bloody Elbow has since confirmed the news. According to a Rizin official, verbal agreements were quickly obtained between all parties, and contracts were officially signed a few days after Sakakibara’s statements.
ESPN first reported that the fight was a done deal Sunday night. Bellator 222, which marks the promotion’s second event in New York, takes place at Madison Square Garden.
