76 ■ THE WOLFPACKER ■ PACK PROS forcing Warren to tap out in the first round, moving Caldwell's record to 9-0 and earning him a title shot. He will face the winner of current champion Marcos Galvao and Eduardo Dantas, who are scheduled to fight at Bel- lator 156 on June 17. The Beaten Path, Bleacher Report's MMA arm, named Caldwell its No. 5 MMA prospect to watch in 2016 before his destruction of Warren — a performance that more than backed up the listing. "For the moment, the former Division I national cham- pion and multiple-time All-America is one of the bright- est future stars in MMA," the website wrote. "Caldwell's wrestling pedigree is off the charts. He holds wins over future world team member and all-time collegiate great Brent Metcalf in college and might have been on the 2012 Olympic team in freestyle [wrestling], but for a series of devastating shoulder injuries. "Wrestling's loss is MMA's gain. … The big question with Caldwell will always be whether he can stay healthy, and for the most part he has during his MMA career. If he can continue to fight regularly, the sky is the limit." — Ryan Tice ■ BY THE NUMBERS 4 Straight years that NC State basketball has lost its leading scorer to early departure: junior for- ward C.J.
