Bellator MMA makes its way to back to the WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma for Bellator 195.

Caldwell will be making his first title defense after capturing the belt by beating Eduardo Dantas by unanimous decision at Bellator 184.

His most recent fight was at Bellator 181 where he decisioned Steve Garcia. Joe Taimanglo enters the fight riding a two-fight losing streak.
