Whoaa, so looks like rizin and bellator will work together in 2019 also. I have to go in this one with Horiguchi, experience is my main factor to pick him against Darrion Caldwell.
Opinions? who you got guys in this one?

125 lb midget? Horiguchi would beat your assBecoming less a fan of Caldwell. Guy wrestled 149 in college and is like 5'10. He keeps himself artificially small so he can crush 5'5 former (or still current) flyweights. I'm glad he gassed and got strangled by Taimanglo.
After he beat Brent Metcalf for the 149 lb NCAA title, he said he wanted to go up A COUPLE weight classes and maybe GO OUT FOR FOOTBALL. Now he's fighting a 125 lb midget.
Bold.
he's also not a small asian fighter. the dude may be a bit shorter, but he is built like a fucking tank for his division.Lol Caldwell got subbed in the third round after a dominant two rounds and then avenged that loss. Taimanglo isn't a bad fighter either, dude is tough as nails.
There is essentially nothing for Caldwell at BW in Bellator at the moment. I wouldn't want to dismiss this fight as a stay busy fight, but this is probably what the bellator brass is thinking.Awesome fight but really dont get why Bellator would do this. Last time Bellator let a BW champ fight outside the org it didnt end well for them.
Plus its for the Rizin title? So Caldwell will defend both titles if he wins? I know Rizin only does 4 events a year or whatever so he could fight once a year on NYE event and defend the belt and its not holding anything up. But I thought they would have just done Pitbull/Caldwell. Let AJ/Pico develop more, do the double champ thing, get a nice fight with Pitbull. Sending him to another org and risking your champ losing is a gamble.
But its a great fight, best fighter Horiguchi has fought since Mighty Mouse. His striking vs Caldwells wrestling. Unless Horiguchi stuns him early I think Caldwell will have his way with him.
He had a couple fights at lightweight, care to point out something?There's so much wrong with this statement

Not sure how beating a flyweight would prove that but okay lolGreat fight for Caldwell. I had figured he was permentaly finished with 135lbs now that the weight class is all but dead in Bellator and it is a huge cut for Caldwell.
Glad he gets a chance to again prove he is a true special talent in the weight class though.
