Drops decision after weight miss
BantamweightUFC
October 12, 2024
Argueta lost to Cody Haddon via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This fight came together about a month ago. Perhaps that played a role in Argueta missing weight by 2.5 pounds Friday morning. He had to forfeit 20 percent of his purse to the debuting Haddon in order for the fight to proceed. Hopelessly outclassed on the feet in terms of both speed and technical skill, Argueta predictably attempted to go to his grappling game over and over. It was moderately successful, and at a minimum, served to drain Haddon's gas tank. In the end, however, Dan simply absorbed too much damage on the feet to be granted the decision. The 31-year-old Jackson/Wink product is winless in his last four (0-2, 2NC) bouts. He needs to find a victory by any means necessary if the UFC runs him back out there.

Argueta lost to Miles Johns via unanimous decision (28-29, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was a simple case of the man landing the harder, cleaner shots winning the fight. Argueta constantly pushed forward in hopes of getting his wrestling game going, but Johns was seemingly waiting for him at every turn. Dan's effectiveness dipped considerably as the fight progressed, at which point it was clear he wouldn't be winning the decision. The 30-year-old Argueta now has just one win (1-2, 1NC) in his first four UFC bouts.
