Darrion Caldwell won’t put his Bellator title on the line when he meets Kyoji Horiguchi at Rizin FF 14 later this month. Rather, it’s Rizin’s inaugural 135-pound title that will be at stake. That doesn’t exclude, however, the possibility of Horiguchi fighting for a Bellator belt in the future. In fact, the recently-announced meeting between Bellator bantamweight champion Caldwell and Rizin’s Horiguchi opens a few different paths for other cross-promotional bouts, perhaps involving the same two players. Speaking to MMAjunkie about the deal, Bellator president Scott Coker explained the terms he discussed with Rizin FF president Nobuyuki Sakakibara in order to facilitate the bout, which takes place Dec.
