On Saturday night at the SSE Arena in London, England, Bellator wrapped up its European series for the year and did it in style, with a marque finish from one of the marquee names in the organization.
Michael “Venom” Page was supposed to face Derek Anderson in the main event of Bellator London, but when Anderson withdrew, Gianni Melillo stepped in on short-notice to take the fight. And “MVP” did what fans expect elite fighters to do against outmatched competition: he dominated. Page came out in his trademark karate style and made quick work of Melillo, setting him up with feints and movement before landing a clubbing overhand right that planted Melillo on the canvas.
