And one of the fighters that helps make that case is the 21-1 &#8216;Spaniard&#8217; Juan Archuleta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hesperia, California&#8217;s finest has been on an absolute tear as of late and continues to force Bellator&#8217;s hand when it comes to giving him a title shot. Something that <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/bellator\/exclusive-ricky-bandejas-ready-for-bellator-214-says-james-gallagher-did-him-wonders\/\">both Archuleta and his opponent Ricky Bandejas expect to come with a potential win<\/a> on Saturday at Bellator 214.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ricky and I right now are fighting for the No. 1 contender spot at 135 [pounds] and there&#8217;s no better way then to go out there and fight Ricky,&#8221; Archuleta told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hzvQroN2Sfs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"BJPenn.com at Bellator 214's media day (opens in a new tab)\">BJPenn.com at Bellator 214&#8217;s media day<\/a>. &#8220;He&#8217;s made noise for himself, I&#8217;ve made noise for myself and we&#8217;re both going to go out there and fight our asses off for a world title shot.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to Archuleta&#8217;s very impressive winning streak, he has arguably been in title contention for a while now. However, the hardworking wrestler doesn&#8217;t feel frustrated by having to make statement after statement to get his shot at gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Nothing&#8217;s given, man,&#8221; Juan Archuleta said. &#8220;You gotta go out there and make your way, gotta make your noise. And I believe Ricky feels the same way, nothing&#8217;s going to be given to us, ya know? We&#8217;re fighters, there&#8217;s thousands of us. They can take anyone and put them in there. Our job is to go out there and keep putting our nose to the grindstone and just make a statement for ourselves like he did with [James] Gallagher, like I did my last three opponents. We&#8217;re both gonna do the same that night.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with a win on Saturday night over Bandejas, the waiting may have to continue for Archuleta.<\/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\/\">Kyoji Horiguchi&#8217;s upset win<\/a> over current Bellator bantamweight champ Darrion Caldwell, it now demands an instant rematch. But this next time will be in Bellator for Caldwell&#8217;s title rather than the inaugural RIZIN crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I think you just keep grinding, we&#8217;re here to fight,&#8221; Archuleta said. &#8220;I think that&#8217;s what makes Ricky and I such great fighters is cause we just want to fight, man. We&#8217;re both blue-collar athletes. We&#8217;re here to fight, we&#8217;re here to win, we&#8217;re here to put on performances. And even if we get derailed, one of us is going to keep on going and making our mark on this sport.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Juan Archuleta thought the fight itself was awesome and thinks that the rematch could tell a different story. Either way, Archuleta has interest in fighting either man at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It was awesome,&#8221; Archuleta said of Caldwell vs Horiguchi. &#8220;I think Caldwell definitely ends it if it was in a cage. There&#8217;s a little bit different gameplan and <g class=\"gr_ gr_39 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"39\" data-gr-id=\"39\">tactici<\/g>an that goes on in the ring, obviously. I&#8217;m sure he did train a lot in a ring but it was an unfortunate event. He ended up letting too much emotion out there and just kind of relaxed at a certain position where Horiguchi caught him, ya know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If he goes in the cage, makes some adjustments, I think it could be a different outcome but Horiguchi&#8217;s no sleeper, man. That dude&#8217;s been putting on some performances his whole career. He&#8217;s a handful and I&#8217;m excited to have him in Bellator with the possibility of competing against him.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to who Archuleta would rather fight and why? He says Caldwell to settle who gets bragging rights as the better wrestler and Horiguchi for his legacy&#8217;s sake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But ultimately, Archuleta will need to get past Bandejas on Saturday one way or another.<\/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>The lighter weight divisions are some of Bellator&#8217;s deepest.
