Darrion Caldwell Earns MMA Title Shot Former NC State national champion wrestler Darrion Caldwell moved into mixed martial arts (MMA) shortly after concluding his collegiate wrestling career at NC State in 2011. "The Wolf " — an homage to his time with the Wolfpack — turned professional with no prior fight- ing experience in 2012, debuting with Legacy Fighting Championship in September. After three wins with that organization, he signed a contract to compete in Bellator, which is widely recognized as the No. 2 MMA organiza- tion behind the wildly popular UFC. Despite the step up in competition, the winning has continued for Caldwell, a native of Rahway, N.J. The 5-10 athlete, who finished his NCSU career competing at 149 pounds, has also moved down to bantamweight (135 pounds) after he started off fighting at featherweight (145). Since the weight change, the 28-year-old Caldwell has reeled off three straight wins, including a pair of first- round submissions in his two most recent fights. On March 4, he headlined Bellator 151 on SpikeTV against Joe Warren, a former world champion Greco-Roman wrestler and Bellator champion at two different weight classes.

It marked his first international medal, but Hill was not focused on that after finishing just 0.18 seconds behind Ethiopia's Yomif Kejelcha, who clocked a 7:57.21. "It's my first medal, and it's a great finish for me, literally my highest global finish," he said after the race according to IAAF.org. "But then when I looked up and I see the time, how close I was to gold. I know I probably made a few mistakes down the last [kilometer], so there will probably be that little bit of disappointment that I could have won gold." The Hickory, N.C., native also won the USATF National Championship — his second career na - tional title after winning the outdoor 5,000-meter race in 2015 — and the Millrose Games earlier in the season for the same race. He competes for the Nike Bowerman Track Club. — Ryan Tice
