THACKERVILLE, Okla. – If the price is right, Bellator bantamweight champion Darrion Caldwell could be a future arrival in the featherweight division. After all, it’s not like he’ll ever get his due to as a top bantamweight while under the Bellator banner, he reasoned. In Friday’s Bellator 195 headliner, Caldwell (12-1 MMA, 9-1 BMMA) posted his first title defense – i n rather quick fashion – after tapping out challenger Leandro Higo (18-4 MMA, 1-2 BMMA) via first-round guillotine in the Paramount-televised headliner at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla.
