Keon Caldwell camp worried WSOF favoring Nick Newell for spot in tournament

BAD MMA News — Mon, 05 Aug 2013 23:50:00 +0000

A press release issued this past week by World Series of Fighting announced an upcoming lightweight tournament to crown its first champion at 155 pounds. Among the fighters targeted for the competition was Justin Gaethje , Dan Lauzon , the winner of a fight at WSOF 4 between Gesias Cavalcante and Tyson Griffin and one-handed fighter Nick Newell (9-0). Newell’s opponent at WSOF 4, Keon Caldwell (9-1), was not mentioned, and that has his camp feeling two things – worried the promotion is displaying favoritism, and motivated to spoil its plans. “Throughout the whole process, it seems like the attention has been on Nick a little more than Keon,” Caldwell’s trainer, Richard Cox, told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “(WSOF is) a great company – I just think they’re on the Nick Newell hype train

Video: WSOF 4′s Keon Caldwell says Nick Newell bout not a lose-lose situation

Keon Caldwell believes there’s a common misconception about fighter Nick Newell : fighting him is a lose-lose situation. The argument, it goes, is that defeating a one-handed MMA fighter like Newell doesn’t earn you much credibility, and losing to him can be an incredibly embarrassing setback. But Caldwell (9-1), who meets Newell in a main-card lightweight bout next month at World Series of Fighting 4, doesn’t see it that way at all. Newell (9-0), a former XFC fighter, is 9-0 with eight first-round stoppages, including six via submission. He’s no longer the “the fighter with one hand” so much as he is a legit prospect with proven stopping ability. “He’s a man just like we are, but he’s taken it to the another level with how he is,” Caldwell told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).
