Video: Ryan Seacrest gets fighting lessons from Bellator’s Juan Archuleta

Fast-rising Bellator featherweight Juan Archuleta probably didn’t head to New York this week thinking he was going to have the easiest fight.

Archuleta (22-1 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) will meet former bantamweight champion Eduardo Dantas on the main card of Bellator 222 at Madison Square Garden.

On Tuesday, though, Archuleta got into a “fight” of a different sort. Appearing on “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” Archuleta was was asked to demonstrate moves by co-host Ryan Seacrest.

Archuleta was all too happy to oblige. And as you can see in the clip above, let’s just be nice and say that while Seacrest is a great TV host, as a fighter, well, he’s a great TV host.

Archuleta, who takes a 17-fight win streak, including all four of his Bellator bouts, into Bellator 222, also talked a bit about the fight with Dantas (21-6 MMA, 11-3 BMMA), which you can see below.

Bellator 222 takes place Friday at Madison Square Garden in New York. The main card streams on DAZN following prelims on MMA Junkie.
