Michael Page kept things rolling last night (Sat., Dec. 28, 2019) at Bellator 237 live on Paramount Network and DAZN from inside Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, as the English striker picked apart Japanese counterpart Shinsho Anzai to claim his third-straight knockout finish, this one coming in the second round.
Outside of a few takedown attempts along the cage, Anzai didn’t offer much from the opening bell. Page utilized his reach and unpredictable attacks to pepper the Japanese fighter with everything in the bank. Anzai finally fell in the second round when Page landed one final vicious right hand.

With this performance, Page locks down his third-straight win and his ninth career knockout finish under the Bellator banner. The 32-year-old will have to defeat more noteworthy talent if he’s looking to lock down a rematch with current Bellator welterweight champion Douglas Lima in 2020, but these finishes are always fun to watch.
