‘I broke him’: Enrique Barzola dissects spiritual warfare in Bellator debut win over Darrion Caldwell

BAD MMA News — Fri, 04 Feb 2022 00:05:45 +0000

There was a lot more than met the eye in Enrique Barzola ’s successful Bellator debut. The season two winner of “The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America” made a good first impression in Bellator, outworking and stopping one of their former champions. In a bantamweight contest, Barzola (17–5–2 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) scored a third-round TKO stoppage win over Darrion Caldwell at last Saturday’s Bellator 273 . It was a grueling and high-paced bout that had Barzola tested early. Caldwell proved effective early on with his wrestling, but Barzola remained calm and turned the tide halfway through the fight. Although Barzola showed great decision making, wrestling, and ground-and-pound to secure his first victory under the Bellator banner, there was plenty more that went into his winning performance.

Fighters interact with fans, each other and many more through the likes of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, which helps outsiders get a deeper look into the minds of the athletes. Following Saturday’s Bellator 273 event in Phoenix, several of the winning and losing fighters, along with their coaches, training partners or family members, took to social media to react to the event or share a message with supporters.

PHOENIX – Chris Gonzalez works high kicks in practice, but he didn’t really plan on unleashing one against Saad Awad. But the first strike Gonzalez (7-1 MMA, 6-1 BMMA) threw against Awad (24-14 MMA, 12-11 BMMA) in their fight on the Bellator 273 preliminary card at Footprint Center in Phoenix was a left high kick. It landed, and after Awad hit the canvas, a few punches later Gonzalez had a 36-second win
