Employs questionable gameplan in loss against Darrion Caldwell at Bellator 204
Lahat lost to Darrion Caldwell via TKO (punches) at 2:46 of Round 2 at Bellator 204 on Friday in Sioux Falls, S.D.
ANALYSIS
It would easy to question Lahat's gameplay for this fight. He came out and tried to take down a former NCAA champion. Unsurprisingly, this did not work. Caldwell used this opportunity to work from the top position. He landed hard ground and pound in the first and continued the trend in the second. About halfway through the round, Lahat left himself open while trying to get back to his feet. Caldwell unloaded and finished the fight. Lahat falls to 12-4 as a professional, but the promotion will continue to visit Israel. Thus, Lahat is likely to keep his job.

Grinds out decision win in the main event of Bellator 188
Lahat defeated Jeremiah Labiano via unanimous decision (29-27, 29-27, 29-27) at Bellator 188 on Thursday in Tel Aviv, Israel.
ANALYSIS

Lahat got back on track here with a decision over Jeremiah Labiano. He had some issues on the feet.

In all three rounds, he was able to score takedowns and do damage from the top. In the second round, the referee took a point from him for a ground strike and strikes to the back of the head. In the end, that did not matter as Lahat took home the unanimous decision. He improves to 12-3 overall and 3-1 in Bellator.

Overcomes early knockdown at Bellator 175
Lahat defeated Lloyd Carter via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:50 of Round 2 at Bellator 175 on Friday in Chicago
ANALYSIS
Lahat had a little bit more trouble than expected in this fight. He came into the bout as a huge betting favorite. In the first round, Lahat was very cautious. When he finally closed the distance, he ate a jab from Carter that dropped him. Lahat recovered, scored a takedown and worked for an arm-triangle submission. In the second round, the UFC veteran once again took the fight to the ground. Once he transitioned to the back it was only a matter of time. Lahat improved to 11-2 overall and 2-0 in Bellator, but both of his opponents in the promotion have been over matched. Featherweight is one of Bellator's best divisions, so Lahat will need to improve if he wants to become a legitimate contender.
