NEW YORK – Juan Archuleta made an emphatic claim toward a title shot with a brutal one-punch, walk-off knockout of Eduardo Dantas at Bellator 222. Archuleta (23-1 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) extended his winning streak to 18 fights when he stopped Dantas (21-7 MMA, 11-4 BMMA) with a pinpoint right hand on the chin with just one second remaining in the second round. Dantas was down for several minutes after the knockout, but eventually made it back to his feet and left the cage under his own power. The featherweight fight was part of the main card of Friday’s Bellator 222 event at Madison Square Garden. The main card streamed on DAZN following prelims on MMA Junkie. Prior to the finish, the action was rather mundane.
