It's only a matter of time until somebody in some sport has their career ruined by an up-close cameraperson. And at that point many will wonder how we didn't all see this coming. If, no, make that when it happens this video will probably serve as the smoking gun that was missed (amongst other examples). Coming off his victory over....some guy, Bellator bantamweight Darrion Caldwell did a backflip off the railing onto an unsuspecting (and probably completely fucking flabbergasted) camerawoman. Afterward we found out both people were alright. Which makes it either more or less funny based upon your sense of humor:

In case you're wondering, Caldwell weighs around 135 lbs. Which is about 135 lbs. more than most doctors recommend dropping onto your head.

Of course there's an alternative way of looking at this, and that would be: Maybe this guy should just stop doing celebratory backflips:
