The Armadillo
Drops decision after taking last minute fight at Bellator 195
Joplin lost to Juan Archuleta via unanimous decision (30-26, 30-24, 30-23) at Bellator 195 on Friday in Thackerville, Okla.
ANALYSIS
Joplin deserves credit for taking this fight on only eight days notice. He manage to be competitive in this fight, but he was never in a position to win. Archuleta was the better striker and wrestler. He scored with punches and kicks at will. He also landed multiple takedowns in each round. Joplin falls to 17-15 as a professional and might not get another shot on a Bellator main card.
