Michael ‘Venom’ Page will enter tonight’s contest sporting a perfect professional mixed martial arts record of 14-0. In his most recent effort at Bellator 216, Page scored a unanimous decision victory over knockout artist Paul Daley.
Meanwhile, former Bellator welterweight champion Douglas Lima (30-7 MMA) was last seen in action this past September, where he scored a submission victory over Andrey Koreshkov.
