#2) Michael Venom Page vs. Douglas Lima 3
Another rematch that could be possible for 'MVP' is a trilogy bout with former Bellator welterweight champion Douglas Lima. Both fighters have a win over one another and a trilogy could solidify their status in the division.
Lima got a highlight-reel knockout in the first fight after sweeping Page's leg and then landing a powerful right-hand. Lima went on to regain the Bellator welterweight championship by defeating then-champion Rory MacDonald in the welterweight Grand Prix finals.
Page avenged the loss in their rematch at Bellator 267, but the bout was marred by controversy. Many fans on social media felt he was awarded the split-decision win because the bout took place in his hometown.
Based on the stats, the argument could be made that Lima should’ve been awarded the split-decision. With that said, Bellator could run it back once more and determine a clear winner in a trilogy bout.
#1) Michael Venom Page vs. Bellator welterweight champion Yaroslav Amosov
Topping this list of fights for Page in Bellator is a title fight against reigning Bellator welterweight champion Yaroslav Amosov.
The current champion has an undefeated 26-0 MMA record. Amosov is 7-0 inside the Bellator cage and has made improvements in each fight. The four-time world Sambo champion has used his wrestling to his advantage to wear his opponents down.
Amosov looked great when he took the title from Lima, who is arguably a more well-rounded fighter. Amosov wasn’t explosive with his takedowns, but he was effective and controlled Lima for the majority of the fight.
It would make sense if Page was Amosov’s first challenger as he is currently the No.1-ranked welterweight in Bellator and has been active this past year. It’d be interesting to see how an 'MVP' vs. Amosov fight would go.
It’s no secret that Amosov’s path to victory in that bout would be his wrestling. However, he’d likely have to weather an early flurry of strikes as MVP would be looking for a quick night. The fight would be an incredible style clash between two of the top stars in Bellator's 170-pound division.
