Bellator makes their return to London, England, on Friday night with a fun-filled card taken over by British talent.
Homegrown, Michael ‘Venom’ Page will get the opportunity to attain Bellator gold in front of a home crowd. After Yaroslav Amosov was forced to withdraw due to defending his country of Ukraine, the undisputed title fight with MVP failed to materialise. Still, Scott Coker was desperate for London to have a headliner which featured a title, so he drafted in Logan Storley and placed an interim belt on the table.
The co-main event features a thrilling middleweight clash between Fabian Edwards and Lyoto Machida. The card will also see the retirement fight of UK MMA royalty Paul Daley who looks to sign out with a win.
We have you covered with all the live results and fight highlights throughout.
