Bellator London: Tickets, UK start time, LIVE stream and TV channel, main card, prelims and fight odds
Bellator returns to the capital this weekend with Michael ‘Venom’ Page headlining the card in front of a hometown crowd.
After breezing past Richard Kiely with a devastating flying knee finish in Dublin in September, Page makes a swift return to the cage to take on late stand-in Giovanni Melillo..
As revealed by Standard Sport, the Italian welterweight took the fight on eight days’ notice after original opponent Derek Anderson was forced to withdraw through injury.
Elsewhere on the card, Fabian Edwards, younger brother of UFC welterweight contender Leon, meets middleweight rival Mike Shipman in a genuine grudge match in their chief support act.
With his brother close to shot at world title gold over in UFC, Edwards has designs on forcing his way into the Bellator title contention by the end of 2020 – vowing to extend his professional record to 11-0 when he meets Shipman.
