Filed under: Bellator , Featured , News Joe Taimanglo had one good moment in his bout with highly rated bantamweight prospect Darrion Caldwell , but it was all he needed, as he scored a shocking submission win. Taimanglo (23-6-1 MMA, 6-2 BMMA), a 14-1 underdog, tapped Caldwell (9-1 MMA, 6-1 BMMA) out in the third round of their Bellator 159 headliner at Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas. The evening’s main card aired on Spike following prelims on MMAjunkie. Caldwell used his range early, moving in and out with lengthy attacks, though he eventually took the fight to the floor and settled into top position. Taimanglo scrambled well underneath and worked himself to guard, but Caldwell always looked to advance position and never really faced any counter attacks
