The main attraction at Bellator 258 is recently crowned bantamweight champion Juan Archuleta (25-2, 11 KOs), who won the vacant title last September at Bellator 246 when he defeated Patrick “Patchy” Mix via unanimous decision. Bellator 258 will mark Archuleta’s first title defense; challenging him for the belt will be Sergio Pettis (20-5, 3 KOs), Bellator’s top-ranked bantamweight fighter who sits just below the champ himself in the league’s official rankings.

For the co-main, veteran UFC knockout artist Anthony Johnson (22-6, 16 KOs) will be making his Bellator debut against Jose Augusto (7-2, 5 KOs) in an elimination match for the Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix Tournament. Johnson was initially scheduled to face Yoel Romero, another UFC veteran making his debut with the league, until Romero had to withdraw from the event due to a medical issue. Whoever wins this elimination bout will go on to face current Bellator light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov.

There are 12 fights planned in total, and you can check out the entire lineup below. Then, sign up for Showtime or the CBS Sports Network so you can stream Bellator 258 live on Friday.

The new David Geffen Galleries at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art are among the most important public buildings to open in Los Angeles in decades.

It has been funded and supported by some of the biggest names in Southern California, along with international backers who clearly understand LACMA’s importance as a global museum.
