“Everything just really fell into place for me to sign with a prestigious organization like Bellator. I’m really embracing this opportunity,” Caldwell said. “During our talks, the tournament format is something I thought about a lot, and that’s what I always grew up with being a Division I wrestler. I’m used to looking at a bracket and seeing my name against another fighter, so I’m absolutely looking forward to my first tournament run.”

The Rahway, New Jersey native has signed a long term deal with the promotion.

Caldwell has competed as a professional mixed martial artist three times. he has earned two unanimous decision victories and one TKO finish.
