Bellator 158

Michael Page will indeed face off with Fernando Gonzalez after earning his 10th straight win to start his MMA career.

Page and Gonzalez, along with Linton Vassell-Francis Carmont, were made official by Bellator for the upcoming event in London, Bellator 158. That card features a main event between Kimbo Slice and James Thompson.

Page (10-0) scored a victory over Jeremie Holloway Friday night with a toe hold submission for his ninth career finish. Gonzalez (25-13) picked up a split decision over veteran Gilbert Smith recently, pushing his win streak to five.

The two welterweights were scheduled for March before an injury knocked Page out.

Vassell (16-5) bested former Bellator champion Emanuel Newton at Bellator 149 earlier this year and is 11-2 over his last 13. He’ll also have the home-crowd advantage being a native of England vs. Carmont (24-11), who is a former UFC fighter.

The other bout announced previously will feature Josh Koscheck taking on Paul Daley.
