Michael Page once again emerged victorious in the Bellator cage as the promotion made its first trip to Paris on Saturday. But the fight didn’t go as most expected.
“MVP” entered the Accor Arena to face undefeated Ross Houston, a former Cage Warriors welterweight champion, and after three rounds, he took home scores of 30-27 twice and 29-28. The fight was not the action-packed affair of previous fights, and the crowd let the fighters know.
Page started the fight in his usual stance, keeping his hands low and landing good strikes. Houston eventually secured a takedown and stayed on top control for the remaining of the opening round, but couldn’t do much damage from there.
