Bellator 195 highlights: Darrion Caldwell makes quick work of Leandro Higo

Once Darrion Caldwell went to the floor with Brazil’s Leandro Higo, things were over in a hurry.

Caldwell (12-1 MMA, 9-1 BMMA) forced Higo (18-4 MMA, 1-2 BMMA) to tap to a first-round guillotine choke in the Bellator 195 main event Friday night for his first succesful defense of the bantamweight title.

Bellator 195 took place at WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Okla. The main card aired on Paramount following prelims on MMAjunkie.

Earlier on the main card, Joe Taimanglo (25-8-1 MMA, 7-4 BMMA) pulled off a big upset and snapped a two-fight skid with a split decision win over former two-division champion Joe Warren (15-7 MMA, 13-6 BMMA); Kristina Williams (2-0 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) pulled off a second straight upset to open her pro career with a split call over Emily Ducote; and Juan Archuleta (18-1 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) utterly dominated William Joplin (15-15 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) with a unanimous decision with lopsided scores of 30-23, 30-24 and 30-26. Seriously: a 30-23!
