MMA fighter climbs cage and does backflip, lands on camerawoman (video)

MMA fighter Darrion Caldwell was pretty excited after defeating Shawn Bunch at Bellator 143 on Friday night. Caldwell executed a rear naked choke in the first round and won via submission.

But he may want to be a bit more careful how he celebrates next go-round.

Caldwell scaled the cage and did a backflip after submitting Bunch. He should have looked before he jumped, though, as he landed square on a camerawoman, who captured it all on video.

The good news is that the woman said she was okay afterward.

Caldwell did apologize to the camerawoman, but he needs to look before he leaps next time.
