Juan Archuleta’s next fight may be at featherweight, but he still has his eyes on the winner of Bellator bantamweight champion Darrion Caldwell vs. Rizin FF champ Kyoji Horiguchi.
Archuleta meets former bantamweight titleholder Eduardo Dantas in a 145-pound bout at Bellator 222 on Friday night at at Madison Square Garden in New York. Archuleta said in an ideal world, he beats Dantas and then fights the winner of Caldwell vs. Horiguchi, which opens the Bellator 222 main card.
“If Horiguchi wins, adding Horiguchi onto my resume of fighting is a huge milestone in itself,” Archuleta told Bloody Elbow.
