Caldwell (11-1 MMA, 8-1 BMMA) further lived up to his claim as a fighter with great potential when he ended Dantas’ (20-5 MMMA, 10-2 BMMA) reign as 135-pound champion with a unanimous-decision win in the Spike-televised main event at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla.

Caldwell and Dantas are both insanely good athletes. Such a shame Sonnen is on commentary, continuing to tell the audience it’s boring.

It’s over. Caldwell should get the decision. Pretty clear, imo. Dantas wasn’t agressive, Caldwell outwrestled him.
