Bellator bantamweight champion Darrion Caldwell traveled all the way to Japan on his quest for a second world title, as we was booked for a RIZIN 14<\/a> bantamweight title fight with Japanese star Kyoji Horiguchi.<\/p>\n

Early on this fight, it looked as though Caldwell might succeed on his transpacific mission, as he was able to take Horiguchi down and control him on the canvas.<\/p>\n

Mid-way through the third round, however, Caldwell found himself locked up in a Horiguchi guillotine choke, and after a brief struggle, was forced to tap out.<\/p>\n

While this is not the outcome Darrion Caldwell planned, he seems to be taking the setback in stride.<\/p>\n

Post-fight, the Bellator bantamweight champion took to Instagram, where he issued a quick statement at the loss, and hinted at a future rematch in the Bellator cage.<\/p>\n
