2. Darrion Caldwell impresses when needed
That was exactly the type of performance [autotag]Darrion Caldwell[/autotag] needed to prove he’s among the frontrunners to win the Bellator featherweight grand prix. He took away Adam Borics’ undefeated record inside the first round, using his overwhelming grappling advantage to secure a submission.
Despite being the former Bellator bantamweight champion, it’s starting to look more and more like featherweight is Caldwell’s best division. He’s unbeaten at 145 pounds over eight career fights, and after some dull showings in recent years – particularly the one that saw him lose his belt to Kyoji Horiguchi – he needed a reminder.
Putting away a heavily hyped Borics within minutes was the statement Caldwell needed that he can’t be overlooked going into the final four of the grand prix.
