Bellator bantamweight champion Darrion Caldwell is set to put his belt on the line for the first time following Thursday’s Bellator 195 weigh-ins.
Caldwell was just under the limit, stepping on the scale at 134.7 pounds. His opponent, Leandro Higo, also easily made the mark, weighing 134.2 pounds.
The Bellator 195 co-main event could feature the next challenger to whomever wins Friday’s headlining bout. Former bantamweight champion Joe Warren and longtime contender Joe Taimanglo each weighed 135.8 pounds for their non-title fight. Both men have consistently remained at the top of the division and the winner makes a strong case for the next challenge, regardless of who wins the main event.
Bellator 195: Caldwell vs. Higo takes place on Friday, March 2, at WinStar World Casino & Resort in Thackerville, Okla., and airs live on Paramount Network (formerly Spike).
