Bellator seeks new opponent for Michael Page after Fernando Gonzalez withdraws

Bellator officials are determined to make sure Michael Page fights at home in London on July 16. But his opponent won't be Fernando Gonzalez.

MMAFighting.com confirmed an initial Wednesday report by MMAJunkie.com that Gonzalez has pullled out of their Bellator 158 welterweight bout due to undisclosed reasons. But a Bellator rep says the company is "actively seeking an opponent" to keep "Venom" on the show at O2 Arena.

Page is a perfect 10-0 with nine finishes in his mixed martial arts career. That includes a 5-0 Bellator record, with his most recent victory a first-round submission over Jeremie Holloway at Bellator 153.
