As was showcased 今晚 在 “Bellator 153: Koreshkov VS. 亨德森,” 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 雷米霍洛威, look no further than his previous outings against Charlie Ontiveros, or his 65-second knockout of Rudy Bears for explosive examples. 但, 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, 英國, 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.
岡薩雷斯, a 32-year-old Menifee, 加利福尼亞州. is looking to build upon his split decision victory over 吉爾伯特·史密斯 在 “Bellator 151: 沃倫VS. 考德威爾” 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. 現在, 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 伊曼紐爾·牛頓 in a bout that went the distance at the record-shattering event that was“Bellator 149: 沙姆洛克VS. 格雷西。“ Vassell has now won 11 他最後的 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, 法國, 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: 炸藥1，“ Carmont replaced an injured 穆罕默德“王莫”拉瓦爾, 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 菲爾·戴維斯 in the final round of the tournament-style contest. 現在, “Limitless” looks to upset the hometown faithful during the main card of “Bellator 158: London.”
