After another spectacular victory in the Bellator 258 which happened last Friday (7), Michael Page asked for a new opportunity to fight for the welterweight belt (under 77,1kg). The Englishman also responded to the criticism he received regarding the level of competitiveness he faced in the organization and explained why he deserves to fight for the title of his division again.

“I'm the one who makes fights easy. Now they say that he (Derek Anderson) is not a good fighter, but everything happens because of the way I make things happen when I'm there (in the ring). I already accepted this (the criticism). But I'm on a mission to face one person and that's the Douglas lima”, declared Page at the press conference after the event.

Current number one in the rankings, the Englishman believes he should be next in line to fight for the welterweight title. The belt will be at stake on June 11th when the current champion Douglas lima faces Ukrainian Yaroslav Amosov.

“My next fight should be for the belt. I'm number one and the champion already has a fight scheduled, which means I deserve a fight for the title”, concluded the 'Venom'.

Known for his skill and unorthodox fighting style, Michael Page has a record of 19 wins and one loss. His only career setback was in May 2019 for the Brazilian Douglas lima in a duel valid for the welterweight belt. On that occasion, the Briton was defeated by knockout in the second round.
