Argueta lost to Jean Matsumoto via submission (guillotine choke) at 4:59 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
A truly crushing loss for Argueta in a fight in which he looked terrific. Dan's wrestling game was on point the entire bout. He landed a whopping 9-of-19 takedown attempts in a shade under 10 minutes, but he left his neck exposed in his final try and Matsumoto clamped on the guillotine, earning the stoppage with just a single second left in the frame. Argueta falls to 1-2 (2NC) in his first five UFC bouts. He needs to find a victory his next time out.

Argueta's next opponent recently earned a UFC contract through Dana White's Contender Series. 2023 was a mixed bag for Argueta, who went 1-1 (1 NC) in three fights. He defeated Nick Aguirre, fought Ronnie Lawrence to a no-contest and lost to Miles Johns that year.
Falls via decision in Vegas
BantamweightUFC
September 23, 2023
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.

Wacky finish leads to no contest
BantamweightUFC
June 17, 2023
Argueta and Ronnie Lawrence fought to a no contest (overturned decision) at 2:20 of Round 1 at UFC on ESPN 47 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's a crushing result for Argueta in a fight in which he looked excellent and appeared to be just seconds from winning via submission. An immediate takedown from Argueta eventually resulted in him catching Lawrence in a guillotine choke. The latter raised his hand to tap out but never did. That resulted in referee Keith Peterson tapping Lawrence's hand to make sure he was still awake, resulting in Ronnie appearing to give up. Peterson stopped the fight and awarded Argueta a submission victory before the result was overturned -- correctly -- via replay. Neither man absorbed much damage in the brief bout, so perhaps the UFC will run it back in short order.

Argueta will face off against Ronnie Lawrence at UFC Vegas 75 on June 17, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Argueta, who most recently emerged victorious in his bout against Nick Aguirre, will face off against Ronnie Lawrence. The 29-year-old American fighter is currently 1-1 in the UFC, and he will look to improve upon his resume against Lawrence in June.
