Michael ‘Venom’ Page booked against UFC veteran at Bellator 237

Arguably the flashiest fighter on the Bellator roster will have the chance to showcase his skills one more time this year at Bellator 237.

Michael Page (16-1 MMA, 12-1 BMMA) is a late addition to Bellator 237, which takes place Dec. 28 at Saitama Super Arena in Japan and airs on Paramount. “Venom” will meet four-fight UFC veteran Shinsho Anzai (11-3 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) in a 173-pound contract weight bout late this month.

A Bellator official confirmed the pairing with a promotional official on Friday. Bellator has also varied the bout on social media (via Instagram):
