Visa issues force Fernando Gonzalez out of Bellator London bout vs. Michael Page

For the 2nd time in just a few months, a Bellator MMA matchup between welterweights Michael Page and Fernando Gonzalez has been scrapped.

Plans for Michael Page to fight Fernando Gonzalez have been shelved yet again. Bellator officials revealed that Gonzalez is out of his Bellator 158 main card clash against the man best known as "MVP" due to visa problems, which otherwise prevent him from entering the United Kingdom. MMAjunkie first reported Gonzalez's removal from the event.

"About a week or two ago, they just called me up and informed me that they were getting all of my paperwork together for my visa," Gonzalez said.
