As was showcased هذه الليلة في "Bellator 153: Koreshkov مقابل. هندرسون," mixed martial arts fans and pundits alike would be hard-pressed to find a striker — or submission specialist — as dynamic as Page. Other than his win against جيريمي هولواي, look no further than his previous outings against Charlie Ontiveros, or his 65-second knockout of Rudy Bears for explosive examples. لكن, now “Venom” looks to strike against Gonzalez, who is no stranger to being the underdog when he enters the Bellator MMA fray. A proud son of London, انجلترا, the 29-year-old Page has only reached the judges’ scorecards once in his nine professional outings. “MVP” will enter the cage at The O2 in London with an unblemished record, hometown support and momentum, all on his side.

غونزاليس, a 32-year-old Menifee, كاليفورنيا. is looking to build upon his split decision victory over جيلبرت سميث في "Bellator 151: وارن مقابل. كالدويل” and add to his impressive five-fight winning streak. A veteran of the Scott Coker-founded Strikeforce promotion, as well as World Extreme Cagefighting, Gonzalez has been competing professionally since 2003 and was originally slated to fight “MVP” in March, but the fight fell through when the Englishman withdrew due to injury. الآن, Gonzalez looks to solidify himself as the No. 1 contender to the crown at 170-pounds and prove that he truly is the stiffest test Page has faced in his 10-fight career.

Vassell is fresh off of a victory over Bellator’s ايمانويل نيوتن in a bout that went the distance at the record-shattering event that was"Bellator 149: شمروخ مباراة. جرايسي ". Vassell has now won 11 من تقريره الأخير 13 fights and will be chomping at the bit to get back in the cage in front of his hometown fans. Vassell joins Thompson, Daley and Page on a card that features a strong contingent of British talent as the card continues to grow.

Hailing from Paris, فرنسا, the 34-year-old Carmont will enter the cage for the first time in 2016 and fourth under the Bellator MMA umbrella. In his most recent appearance, at the tournament-style "Bellator MMA: الديناميت 1 " Carmont replaced an injured محمد "الملك مو" لاوال, who was forced to drop out after suffering a rib injury earlier in the event. After winning his first bout of the evening, “Limitless” surrendered a loss to فيل ديفيس in the final round of the tournament-style contest. الآن, “Limitless” looks to upset the hometown faithful during the main card of "Bellator 158: London.”
