Michael Page knew he was headlining Bellator’s upcoming show in London before the outcome of his most recent fight.
Friday, Bellator officials announced that Page (15-1 MMA, 10-1 BMMA) will take on Derek Anderson (16-3 MMA, 7-3 BMMA) at Bellator Europe 6, which takes place Nov. 23 at The SSE Arena in London.
After Page suffered his first career loss to Douglas Lima in May, “MVP” bounced back in spectacular fashion with a first-round flying knee knockout over Richard Kiely at Bellator Europe 4 in Dublin. He will be making a quick turnaround when he faces Anderson next month.
Anderson is coming off back-to-back wins over Zak Bucia and, most recently, Guilherme Bomba this past weekend at Bellator 229. It will be an even quicker turnaround for Anderson, who will be heading into hostile territory to try to put a halt to Page’s new momentum.

Michael Page vs. Derek Anderson
