Well it's all Dantas' fault. While Caldwell may have done next to nothing the entire fight, Dantas LITERALLY did nothing! This is a trend with Nova Uniao fighter unfortunately. They come out of the gate in the beginning of their careers looking like total killers being aggressive as hell and giving absolutely no quarter, and then the begin to fight very static, coasting through every round doing just enough to get the W and nothing else. Look at the beginning of Jose Aldo's career and then look at when he came to the UFC. Total difference. Lacked any of the killer instinct he had in the WEC and just coasted to wins. Look at Sandro. Now look at Dantas. With Dantas this new found "patty cake patty cake do enough to get the win" happened immediately after he got his clock cleaned by Tyson Nam.
It's upsetting. I began watching MMA around the time when Dantas first burned on the scene beating BJ Kojima in Shooto and he has really deteriorated. Went from being an exciting uber prospect who looked like a world beater to someone how can't hang with people that have no business in the same cage with him because he simply won't pull the trigger.
Caldwell, is a dreadfully underdeveloped fighter. All the guy can do is desperately shot takedowns. His striking is nonexistent and rarely does he ever try to finish a fight with a submission. Dantas should be ashamed. THe fight shouldn't have even been competitive let alone him managing to lose!
