An injury to Kyoji Horiguchi forced the Japanese superstar to vacate the Bellator MMA bantamweight throne nearly 10 months ago. Plans to fill the seat are finally moving forward.

Juan Archuleta will face the unbeaten Patrick Mix to decide the fate of the 135-pound championship in the Bellator 246 headliner on Saturday at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. The 32-year-old Archuleta has rattled off 19 wins across his past 20 appearances, establishing himself as legitimate threat in multiple weight classes.
