Raufeon Stots has thrived in relative anonymity, but Bellator MMA now appears ready, willing and able to expose him to a wider audience.
The surging, once-beaten contender will step into the spotlight when he faces Juan Archuleta for the interim bantamweight championship in the Bellator 279 co-main event on Saturday at the Neil S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu. Stots enters the cage on the strength of a nine-fight winning streak that spans nearly five years. He last appeared at Bellator 264, where he was awarded a unanimous decision over Magomed Magomedov in their three-round clash on Aug.
