Derek Anderson expects respect, title shot after beating Michael Page at Bellator 258

UNCASVILLE – Derek Anderson spoke with MMA Junkie on Wednesday ahead of Bellator 258.

Anderson (17-3 MMA, 8-3 BMMA) discussed his welterweight matchup with Michael Page (18-1 MMA, 14-1 BMMA), which is booked for a third time, and how MVP isn’t on his striking level, how he “absolutely” expects the winner to get a title shot, earning respect, and more.

You can watch Anderson’s full interview in the video above.

Bellator 258 takes place Friday at Mohegan Sun Arena and airs on Showtime following prelims streamed on MMA Junkie.
