Legacy in Motion: Juan Archuleta’s Next Chapter Begins at XFC 53
The main event of XFC 53 will feature reigning Borroka Featherweight Champion Juan Archuleta defending his title against UFC veteran Jose Johnson. The up-and-coming MMA promotion Borroka is teaming up with the established XFC for a landmark event on September 20th in Las Vegas.
Archuleta, known as “The Spaniard,” is no stranger to gold, having captured titles in Rizin, Bellator, and King of the Cage, among others. He made headlines at Borroka 3 with a highlight-reel flying knee to win the championship—an emphatic moment that went viral.
A world-traveled competitor with roots in wrestling, Archuleta has built a career collecting belts across the globe. Now, with experience, health, and momentum on his side, he’s setting his sights on his biggest goal yet.
