Fernando Gonzalez Out of Bellator 158; Promotion Seeking New Opponent for Michael Page

A proposed showdown between Bellator MMA welterweights Fernando Gonzalez and Michael Page has been scrapped once again.

A promotion official confirmed to Sherdog.com that Gonzalez is out of the Bellator 158 matchup with Page due to “visa issues.” MMAjunkie.com first reported Gonzalez’s exit from the card. Bellator MMA is currently seeking a replacement opponent for Page on the July 16 card, which takes place at O2 Arena in London.

Gonzalez and Page were initially slated to meet at Bellator 151 this past March, but Page withdrew from the co-headlining contest due to undisclosed reasons.
