James Gallagher: Darrion Caldwell wants Patricio Freire next because he’s ‘scared’ of Irish title defense

James Gallagher is adamant that he will fight for the Bellator bantamweight title once he has his hand raised on Saturday night in South Dakota. And if Darrion Caldwell won’t defend his title against the SBG fighter, he will be stripped of his championship, according to “The Strabanimal”.

The Irishman has been getting acclimatized to conditions in the U.S. ahead of his professional debut at 135 pounds where he’s set to face off with former CFFC champ Ricky Bandejas.

Gallagher is good spirits. He says he’s been “eating like a horse,” but can still see the weight falling off him.
