Michael Page got some redemption from the sole loss of his career on Friday when he came out of his rematch against Douglas Lima with his hand raised.
Although it was a controversial result, “MVP” ultimately left the cage with a split decision win in the Bellator 267 main event, which took place on his home soil at The SSE Wembley in London.
Page (20-1 MMA, 16-1 BMMA) was badly knocked out by Lima (32-10 MMA, 14-6 BMMA) in their first meeting in May 2019. He’s been seeking a second opportunity since, and although he didn’t get revenge in a similar spectacular fashion to how he was beaten, he ultimately left the winner.
It seemed the victory would catapult Page to a Bellator welterweight championship fight with undefeated titleholder Yaroslav Amosov, but he expressed post-fight how he would rather do a trilogy fight with Lima to settle the score once and for all.
What should Page’s next play be? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on his future after Bellator 267.
