As was showcased הייַנט בייַ נאַכט בייַ "בעללאַטאָר 153: קאָרעשקאָוו ווס. Henderson," 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 דזשערעמיע Holloway, look no further than his previous outings against Charlie Ontiveros, or his 65-second knockout of Rudy Bears for explosive examples. אָבער, 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, ענגלאַנד, 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.

גאָנזאַלעז, a 32-year-old Menifee, קאַליף. is looking to build upon his split decision victory over גילבערט סמיט בייַ "בעללאַטאָר 151: וואָראַן ווס. Caldwell” 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. איצט, 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 ימאַניואַל ניוטאן in a bout that went the distance at the record-shattering event that was"בעללאַטאָר 149: Shamrock ווס. גראַסיע. " Vassell has now won 11 פון זיין לעצטע 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, פֿראַנקרייַך, 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 "בעללאַטאָר ממאַ: דיינאַמייט 1, " Carmont replaced an injured מוכאַמעד "מלך מאָ" לאַוואַל, 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 פיל דייוויס in the final round of the tournament-style contest. איצט, “Limitless” looks to upset the hometown faithful during the main card of "בעללאַטאָר 158: London.”
