Juan Archuleta misses weight for Rizin 45 title bout, stripped of bantamweight title

BAD MMA News — Sat, 30 Dec 2023 16:06:47 +0000

Juan Archuleta had big ambitions for his holiday trip to Japan, but a big wrench has been thrown into the works of his plan. Archuleta (29-4) missed weight by about 6 pounds Saturday for his bantamweight title defense against Kai Asakura (20-4) at Rizin FF 45, which takes place New Year’s Eve in Saitama, Japan. Former Bellator champion Archuleta has been stripped of the Rizin title due to the weight infraction, and now only Asakura can win the belt in the co-main event. After the official weigh-ins in Japan, Archuleta told fans and media in attendance that an illness while traveling was the culprit for his large weight miss. And right after that, Asakura said he would talk to his team and make a decision since the weight disparity was so big.

Juan Archuleta believes Kai Asakura robbed MMA fans earlier this year of what he predicts to be a quality fight. Archuleta and Asakura were booked to fight in July at Bellator MMA x Rizin 2, but Asakura withdrew from the matchup citing injury. Although the two are now set to fight on New Year’s Eve at Rizin 45, Archuleta feels Asakura is scared to fight him. “I’m in the best shape of my life, and you don’t have to worry about that because there’s no one running scared,” Archuleta said at the pre-fight press conference
