Bellator 246 is going down this Saturday (September 12th) and will be the second installment of the company’s doubleheader from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. After RIZIN FF’s Kyoji Horiguchi won the bantamweight belt from Darrion Caldwell and took it back to Japan, the promotion was left with a gigantic void at the top of the 135-pound division. That empty slot will be filled in the Bellator 246 main event when the 24-2 Juan Archuleta throws down with the undefeated 13-0 Patchy Mix to crown a new champion.
After winning as many titles in as many weight classes as humanly possible on the regional scene, Archuleta took Bellator by storm to continue with his winning ways.
