In May of 2010, British knockout artist Paul Daley stepped into the cage with Josh Koscheck in a UFC welterweight title eliminator — and a heated grudge match. After being out-wrestled for three rounds by his American foe, Daley walked across the Octagon and sucker-punched Koscheck. This grievous foul earned the Brit his release from the UFC. Today, Daley is gearing up for a grudge match with fellow British striker Michael Page at Bellator 216, and Page believes Daley might pull a similar stunt after their fight.

Bellator has been trying to book a fight between British knockout artists Michael Page and Paul Daley for years. Now that Page and Daley are both expected to participate in Bellator’s Welterweight Grand Prix, the fight would seem to be closer to fruition than ever. In fact, Page thinks it’ll happen before the year is out.

Michael Page is now 2-0 as a professional boxer, have recently picked up his sophomore win with a second round knockout of Michal Ciach (see that here). From the sounds of it, Page will seek to move 3-0 in the boxing ring before returning to MMA, where he also boasts a perfect record at 13-0.

Michael Page could not have been more impressive in his second-round stoppage win over David Rickels, which co-headlined Bellator 200 on Friday. It was a truly dominant display, during which Page unleashed plenty of his patented taunts and trash talk, and took almost nothing in the way of damage himself. In the wake of this fight, the MMA community is once again calling for a fight between Page and his fellow British knockout artist Paul Daley. It’s a fight that the fans have wanted to see for years, but one that has not yet come to fruition.

There was a bevy of mainstream stars in the crowd for Friday night’s Bellator 200 card, including 50 Cent, Conor McGregor, and Hollywood superstar Chris Pratt. Shortly after the event, Pratt, who has recently starred in films like Avengers: Infinity War, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Jurassic World, took to Instagram with a post that praised Bellator 200 main card fighter Michael Page.

David Rickels vowed to take Michael “Venom” Page’s heart in front of his London countrymen at Bellator 200. Yet, when the smoke cleared, Rickels was the one succumbing to defeat at the hands of the British doppelganger of Anderson Silva. Coming off an 18-month hiatus, Page opened up a gash over Rickels’ left eye, forcing a verbal submission at 0:43 of the second round.

Though Paul Daley recently expressed interest in parting ways with Bellator MMA, it sounds as though he’ll be sticking with the promotion after all. In a Friday post to his personal Facebook account, Daley claimed that he’s signing not just one, but two contracts for Bellator bouts. The first, he says, will pit him against recent free agent and former World Series of Fighting champion Jon Fitch in May. The second will see him locked in the cage with fellow Englishman and long-time rival Michael “Venom” Page this summer.

It’s not Conor McGregor boxing Floyd Mayweather, but it is an MMA fighter stepping into the ring to box. Bellator’s prospect Michael Page made his professional boxing debut today against Jonathan Castano. It was only scheduled for four rounds, but Page got the job done in three. In between drunken Kung Fu, clowning his opponent, and dancing, Page rocketed long straights into Castano’s face at will.  #Boxing #JoyceLewison #MVP pic.twitter.com/n5tZ0EiZ9J

Earlier this month, Bellator welterweight star Paul Daley began angling for a fight with former UFC contender and recent Bellator welterweight title challenger Lorenz Larkin. Shortly thereafter, Larkin replied to Daley’s callout, accepting the fight for later this year. This of course, raised immediate questions about the status of a long-discussed scrap between Daley and another British MMA star, Michael Page. As it turns out, the reason Page isn’t signing on the dotted line for a battle with Daley is that he’s got his hands full with a foray into the boxing arena. And he won’t be boxing in some community center basement, either.

It sounds like a matchup between two of Bellator’s English welterweight rivals will meet in the cage in 2018. According to Scott Coker who spoke on The MMA Hour, Michael Page and Paul Daley will likely meet in early 2018 due to Daley’s desired fight schedule.

Shortly after coming up short against Rory MacDonald in the main event of Bellator 179, British knockout artist Paul Daley engaged in a heated confrontation with long-time rival and fellow British striking specialist Michael “Venom” Page, who is often referred to as MVP. Given that this was but the latest chapter in an already well established rivalry, interest in seeing the two fighters duke it out is now higher than ever.

On Friday evening, in the main event of Bellator 179, British bomber Paul Daley had the opportunity to spoil the Bellator debut of former UFC welterweight title challenger Rory MacDonald, and set himself up for a shot at the winner of Bellator NYC’s Douglas Lima vs. Lorenz Larkin title fight. Regrettably for Daley and his British fans, MacDonald was simply too much. The Canadian star locked up a choke for the win in the second round. Just moments after his loss, a clever Daley shifted gears and planted the seed for his next fight by engaging in a near-brawl with fellow British striker Michael Page in the stands.

Bellator MMA’s Michael Page possesses arguably one of the most impressive highlight reels in MMA today. The British star has managed to rack up an impressive 12-0 professional record while racking up numerous highlights reel knockouts, most notably his flying knee KO win over Cyborg Santos nearly a year ago. While Michael Page has remained under the Bellator MMA banner over the last three years, ‘Venom’ has just two fights left on his Bellator MMA contract, and admittedly, he isn’t quite sure what will be his next move.
