Exclusive: Bellator MMA’s Juan Archuleta & Sergio Pettis Talk Highlights Pre-“Bellator 258”
Bellator is a leading global MMA and kickboxing promotion featuring many of the best athletes in the world. Under the direction of veteran fight promoter Scott Coker, Bellator events take place in major cities around the world and can be seen on television in over 160 countries to an available audience of over 1 billion people. In the States, Bellator events from all over the world can be seen on Showtime — a new TV deal announced earlier this year — and online via Pluto TV and Bellator’s YouTube channel.
The latest event for Bellator was Bellator 257, which took place at Mohegan Sun Arena on April 16, 2021. The card was headlined by a rematch between Vadim Nemkov and Phil Davis alongside a co-main event of Corey Anderson versus Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov. Following that excellent event, I had the pleasure of asking a question to Bellator CEO Scott Coker, as embedded below.
Bellator’s next big event is Bellator 258, as happening on May 7, 2021 at Mohegan Sun. The event will be headlined Juan Archuleta and Sergio Pettis in a Bantamweight World Title match. Also grabbing headlines is the event Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix Quarterfinal match between Rumble Johnson and Yoel Romero. On April 28, 2021, I had the pleasure of asking the same question to both Archuleta and Pettis as part of a Zoom-based media call, as also embedded below.
