On Friday night, Bellator returns to the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut for Bellator 258. In the main event, bantamweight champion Juan Archuelta puts his title on the line against dangerous opponent Sergio Pettis. That's far from the only big fight on the card, with a co-main event that features Anthony "Rumble" Johnson's return to action against late-replacement opponent Jose Augusto.
The bout between Johnson and Augusto is a first-round pairing in the Bellator Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix, with the winner advancing to the semifinals where they will face light heavyweight champ Vadim Nemkov for both the title and a trip to the tournament finals. Augusto stepped in on short notice after Yoel Romero was forced out of the fight with Johnson.
Archuleta has had a brilliant run inside the Bellator cage. His lone defeat came in a Grand Prix bout against now two-division champion Patricio Pitbull, but "The Spaniard" owns wins over Patchy Mix, Henry Corrales, Eduardo Dantas and Ricky Bandejas. He gets a tough out in Pettis, who has ripped off three straight wins, including two inside the Bellator cage.

A welterweight contest between Logan Storley and Omar Hussein was called off on fight night when Hussein failed a pre-fight medical screening.
