Joe Warren can't say enough about Darrion Caldwell. There is a load of respect there from the grizzled veteran toward the up-and-coming star.
Why? Caldwell won an NCAA wrestling national championship. Warren was close to competing in the Olympic as a wrestler, but the closest he came to a Division I title was third place.
So, Warren will bring that admiration into his fight with Caldwell in the Bellator 151 main event Friday at WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Okla. He also plans on bringing a can of whoop ass.
"It's as tough as it gets," Warren said of winning the NCAA title.
