#2 Darrion Caldwell vs Henry Corrales

Darrion Caldwell

In the second fight of the Bellator 228 main card, Caldwell was able to take down Corrales early in the first round and then went on to open up on him on the ground. He continued to beat down his opponent, and before the end of the 1st round, he was able to open up a cut on the forehead of Coralles.

Heading into the second round, Coralles was able to shut down attempt after attempt again and again, as Caldwell was not able to take him down. The continuous pressure from Caldwell ended up with Coralles getting another loss in the round.

Caldwell continued to take advantage in the third round, with Coralles being unable to do much. After a warning from the referee, Caldwell finally engaged and had a takedown, which was unfortunately turned into a Guillotine Choke from Coralles, when the round ended.
