Bellator 258: Archuleta vs Pettis Results And Replay
Bellator 258 went down on Friday night at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. In the main event, Sergio Pettis beat Juan Archuleta by way of unanimous decision to win the bantamweight title.
In the evening’s co-main event, Anthony Johnson returned after a four year hiatus and recovered from a crazy first round to knockout Jose Augusto with a huge straight right hand in the first round of the Bellator Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix. ‘Rumble’ will now face Vadim Nemkov in the semi-finals after the current 205lbs champion beat Phil Davis via unanimous decision three weeks ago at Bellator 257.
Elsewhere on the Bellator 258 main card, Peter Queally defeated Patricky Freire after the doctor stopped the fight due to a cut to ‘Pitbull’, and Michael Page also won when the doctor stopped the fight at the end of the first round as a result of a head kick that broke the nose of Derek Anderson.
