LOS ANGELES – In Bellator’s 16-man featherweight tournament, champion Patricio Freire doesn’t get any advantages just because he holds the belt. “Pitbull” has to work his way through the field just like everyone else if he wants the tournament crown and the $1 million guaranteed additional prize at the end of it. And each time he moves on, he has to put his title up for grabs. Saturday at Bellator 228, Juan Archuleta (23-1 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) gets a chance to not only knock Freire (29-4 MMA, 17-4 BMMA) from the bracket in the opening round, but add a Bellator title to his resume
