Derek Anderson out of Bellator Europe 6 main event with Michael Page

Bellator Europe 6 is in need of a new main event matchup after one of the headliners needed to drop out.

Derek Anderson, who was slated to face Michael Page in the welterweight main event of the Nov. 23 card in London, had to pull out of the fight due to an undisclosed injury.

MMA Junkie confirmed the news through a person with knowledge of the situation after an initial Tuesday report by FanSided.

The company confirmed it is seeking a short-notice replacement to meet Page for the card at SSE Arena, Wembley.

Page is looking to make it two consecutive victories, as he followed his first career loss (a knockout to current welterweight champion Douglas Lima) with a flying-knee finish of Richard Kiely at Bellator 227.
