The Bellator 258 already looked very good with Juan Archuleta vs. Sergio Pettis being the major fight. A fight between Yoel Romero and Anthony Johnson is also on the cards.

Both Guy and Loureda would be eager to win this fight, Loureda would want to continue her unbeaten streak while Guy would love to build on the momentum she got against Grimes. Whatever the result of the fight may be, seeing these two young fighters go out there and battle it out would be exciting to watch.
