Thus catapulting himself up the 135-pound ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday night at Bellator 214, he has now found himself ready for his toughest test to date in the 21-1 Juan Archuleta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I feel really good [about the fight],&#8221; Bandejas told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kaqKRcjpicA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"BJPenn.com at the Bellator 214 media day (opens in a new tab)\">BJPenn.com at the Bellator 214 media day<\/a>. &#8220;He&#8217;s tough, I think I match up pretty good with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s tough, 21-1, a great winning streak he&#8217;s gritty, he comes to fight. Tough fight, you know? I&#8217;m expecting to go to war on Saturday. I think [I have advantages] everywhere. I think I&#8217;m just a touch better everywhere. He&#8217;s very good, but I&#8217;m that much better.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of Bandejas&#8217; 11 career wins, seven have come by way of finish (four KO\/TKOs, three submissions) therefore proving how dangerous he can be anywhere the fight goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expecting a win on Saturday night, that would likely lead to a title shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, the Bellator 135-pound champion is Darrion &#8216;The Wolf&#8217; Caldwell. However, at RIZIN 14 on December 31, Caldwell tested his skills against Kyoji Horiguchi for the inaugural RIZIN bantamweight crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/rizin-ff\/rizin-14-results-kyoji-horiguchi-scores-huge-comeback-win-over-darrion-caldwell-ayaka-hamasaki-claims-gold\/\">Horiguchi&#8217;s comeback victory<\/a>, it now sets up a rematch but this time in Bellator. Because of that, a title shot for Bandejas following an Archuleta win could lead to him waiting longer than he would have to had Caldwell won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it came to who he would prefer to fight for the title at some point, the New Jersey native was indifferent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t bother me, the title&#8217;s nice but overall I just want to be active,&#8221; <g class=\"gr_ gr_36 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"36\" data-gr-id=\"36\">Bandejas<\/g> said of the title situation. &#8220;I also think it&#8217;s pretty cool co-promoting. Especially at the bantamweight division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, absolutely [I&#8217;d be interested in competing in a cross-promotional bout]. As long as we can get through the test on Saturday, in the future, absolutely.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, if it weren&#8217;t for Bandejas&#8217; phenomenal win over Gallagher, he wouldn&#8217;t be getting the fight that he is now. And despite Gallagher getting a main event slot in his next time out, Bandejas&#8217; isn&#8217;t upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s funny to me, good for him,&#8221; <g class=\"gr_ gr_54 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"54\" data-gr-id=\"54\">Bandejas<\/g> said. &#8220;I&#8217;m not gonna hate on his shine. He&#8217;s doing very well, has a great following. He&#8217;s on the main [event]. He did me wonders, he put me on the map. So I don&#8217;t hate on the guy.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article first appeared on <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\"><em>BJPenn.com<\/em><\/a><em> on 1\/24\/2019<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Bellator 204 in August 2018, top Bellator bantamweight prospect Ricky Bandejas silenced the brash Irishman, James Gallagher.
