Michael Page With a Bellator 153 win, Michael Page made sure Bellator officials’ ambitious matchmaking plans didn’t go to waste. This past Friday in a Spike-televised main-card bout, Page (10-0 MMA, 5-0 BMMA), a striking specialist, tapped out fellow welterweight Jeremy Holloway (7-2 MMA, 0-2 BMMA) with a first-round toehold : Before the event, officials went ahead and announced Page will next fight on July 16 at Bellator 158. Page meets 38-fight vet Fernanda Gonzalez (25-13 MMA, 5-0 BMMA), who’s defeated the likes of Gilbert Smith, Marius Zaromskis and Karo Parisyan since joining Bellator in 2014. The event takes place in Page’s home country with The O2 in London playing host. By emerging from Bellator 153 relatively unscathed, Page is now looking ahead to Bellator 158 – and beyond. In Bellator 153’s headliner, welterweight champion Andrey Koreshkov (19-1 MMA, 11-1 BMMA) dominated former UFC titleholder Benson Henderson (23-6 MMA, 0-1 BMMA)
