Darrion Caldwell with the rear naked choke victory in the first and, more impressively, a back flip off the top of the cage. Wow to both!

Huge, huge win for Caldwell. Borics is legit and the former NC State standout ran through him.

Caldwell vs McKee 5 rounds, for a chance at the title is an amazing fight.

Caldwell made great use of that grip as he gets back to getting his opposition out of there early. Tough start for Borics, who suffers his first career loss, but Caldwell reignites interest in his prospects while reinforcing his claims to run through this tournament. #Bellator238

"You're going to be a champion one day"

Classy. Darrion Caldwell consoles Adam Borics after the fight as he was clearly emotional following the first loss of his career.#Bellator238
