LONDON – Michael Page gave his hometown fans what they wanted as he closed the show in style at Bellator Europe 6 with the latest addition to his spectacular highlight reel. Page (16-1 MMA, 12-1 BMMA) finished late-notice replacement Giovanni Melillo in just 107 seconds with a thumping right hand to bring the SSE Arena crowd to their feet at the end of a dramatic main card in England’s capital. Page was originally set to face American Derek Anderson, but a late injury to “Barbaric” meant Bellator needed a short-notice replacement. And while Italy’s Melillo (13-5 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) stepped up to the plate, he found himself hopelessly outgunned in a fight where he barely laid a glove on the Brit, who found a home for his strikes almost immediately. A slick three-punch combination signaled Page’s intent to claim a fast finish as he showed a visibly more aggressive pace than we’ve seen from him in some of his past fights. And, after backing his man up with a mixture of sharp punches and the occasional low kick, Melillo looked to launch an attack of his own.
