Gallery Juan Archuleta def. Robbie Peralta at Bellator 201: Best photos view 10 images

A bantamweight bout between Juan Archuleta and Ricky Bandejas is the latest addition to January’s Bellator 214 lineup.

MMAjunkie verified the booking between Archuleta (21-1 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) and Bandejas (11-1 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) with a person close to the situation following an initial report from FloCombat.com. The person requested anonymity because Bellator has yet to make an official announcement.

Bellator 214 takes place Jan. 26 at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif. The card airs on Paramount and streams on DAZN following prelims on MMAjunkie.

Archuleta, 31, will get a quick turnaround following his unanimous decision victory over Jason Spoon at Bellator 210 in November. The successful performance pushed his remarkable winning streak to 16 consecutive fights. The former three-division King of the Cage champion made his previous four Bellator appearances at featherweight, but will be returning to 135 pounds for the first time since December 2016 for the upcoming matchup.

As Archuleta attempts to continue his streak, Bandejas, 27, will be looking to down another fighter with momentum. Bandejas picked up a memorable victory in his Bellator debut at Bellator 204 in August when he knocked out brash Conor McGregor teammate James Gallagher inside three minutes. Now he gets the toughest test of his career in Archuleta.

With the addition, the Bellator 214 card now includes:

Fedor Emelianenko vs. Ryan Bader – for vacant heavyweight title

Champ Gegard Mousasi vs. Rafael Lovato Jr. – for middleweight title

Henry Corrales vs. Aaron Pico

Jake Hager vs. J.W. Kiser

Juan Archuleta vs. Ricky Bandejas
