Thoughts and analysis of the biggest storylines coming out of Bellator 238, where Cris Cyborg and Darrion Caldwell shined bright.

3. Caldwell vs. A.J. McKee is a big fight

Speaking of the grand prix semifinals, the first matchup is locked in with Caldwell set to take on another unbeaten fighter in [autotag]A.J. McKee[/autotag]. The two had a tense faceoff in the cage minutes after Caldwell’s win, and with good reason. It’s a huge fight with huge stakes.

McKee has beaten some solid opponents in putting together a 16-0 record, with all of those wins coming under the Bellator banner. He’s got a win over a former champion in Pat Curran, but he’s not faced someone at the level who is in their prime and of the caliber of Caldwell.

A lot of questions will be answered whene these two Bellator-bred fighters meet, and there’s massive upside for the winner, who will move to the tournament finals where they will fight for the featherweight championship and $1 million in prize money.
