Last Saturday night at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, Bellator 216 took place. The event was headlined by Michael ‘Venom’ Page and Paul ‘Semtex’ Daley.
Aside from serving as a first-round matchup in Bellator’s Welterweight World Grand Prix, the fight between Page and Daley was billed as one of the biggest bouts in UK MMA history. It was labeled as grudge match years in the making between two brash and outspoken British fighters who held clear disdain each other.
In addition, the fight pitted two of the promotion’s most explosive and entertaining strikers up against each other.
