Headlining the Bellator 258 fight card is bantamweight champion Juan Archuleta (25-2, 11 KOs), who will be facing title challenger Sergio Pettis (20-5, 3 KOs). Archuleta won the belt at Bellator 246 last fall, where he bested Patrick “Patchy” Mix (who is fighting on the undercard tonight). Pettis is the number one-ranked bantamweight on the Bellator roster, so this should be an exciting fight. UFC veteran Anthony Johnson (22-6, 16 KOs) is making his Bellator debut against Jose Augusto (7-2, 5 KOs) as the co-main event.

The action begins with the prelims at 5:30 PM ET tonight, and you can watch Bellator 258 live stream by signing up for a free month of Showtime.
