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<\/a> to participate in Bellator’s Welterweight Grand Prix, the fight would seem to be closer to fruition than ever.<\/p>\n

In fact, Page thinks it’ll happen before the year is out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still waiting to get confirmation on everything and I\u2019m not entirely sure yet,\u201d Page told MMANytt<\/a> this week. \u201cEither way, in my head I\u2019m in the tournament and he\u2019s my next opponent. It\u2019s definitely going to be in the UK because it\u2019s something I\u2019ve mentioned. It can\u2019t be in the States because it wouldn\u2019t make any sense at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat fight by itself is going to be one of the most spoken about fights for a while,” he added. “You rarely get two UK fighters that can create this kind of noise. It has to be in the UK and it will be sometime this year. The tournament itself kicks off in September so I\u2019m sure it\u2019s going to be far long after that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is definitely a London fight,\u201d he said. “It 100-percent has to be a London fight, at the O2 or Wembley, I don\u2019t see it being anywhere else, in my opinion.”<\/p>\n

Page, if you couldn’t tell, is not a Daley fan. Given the disdain he feels for his rival, he’s very excited to get his hands on him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hate the guy, I don\u2019t like him at all,\u201d Page said. \u201cI think he\u2019s an absolute p****, d***head, what ever other disrespectful word you want to put in there, just throw it in, I don\u2019t like him. I\u2019ve got zero respect for him and especially the way he\u2019s gone about this. Literally, like I said, when this first all came about I spoke to you about this before, it\u2019s purely because he started badmouthing me, or just being disrespectful.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know he\u2019s a bit of a character and a bit of a loudmouth, but I find it funny how he\u2019s never said it whilst I\u2019ve been sat next to him. I don\u2019t think I\u2019d even be that annoyed if he was sat next to me being the Paul Daley that I\u2019ve seen before and he was running his mouth. At least then it was on even ground and I get a chance to respond. When you\u2019re just doing it randomly on other people’s websites, it\u2019s uncalled for and unnecessary. I thought we had different respect levels, but I\u2019ve got zero respect for him. I can\u2019t wait to take his head off.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Michael Page has plenty to say about Paul Daley right now, expect that to end once their fight is over.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce I finish him it will be game over. No more talking. He will get zero publicity from me after that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who do you think will come out on top when the cage door finally closes on Michael Page and Paul Daley?<\/p>\n
