Michael Page to fight Fernando Gonzalez in Bellator matchup

Undefeated Bellator MMA welterweight Michael Page has agreed to fight Fernando Gonzalez on Nov. 19 at the SAP Center in San Jose, California.

Page (11-0) confirmed his next fight to ESPN on Friday.

"My next victim, shall I say, will be Fernando Gonzalez," Page said. "He's a tough guy. That just means the punching bag is going to last a bit longer and you get to see more MVP. That's the only thing I can see being the cause of why everyone wants to see this fight."

This marks the third time this year that Page has been scheduled to fight Gonzalez (25-13). The bout was booked to take place in March and July, but both fell through after various obstacles.

Page, a 29-year-old Brit, is coming off a knockout of the year candidate in July, when he stopped Evangelista Santos with a flying knee at Bellator 158.

Gonzalez, who fights out of Menifee, California, is on a five-fight win streak in which he has been the betting underdog in all five contests.

Fighting out of London, Page has made a name for himself with spectacular knockout finishes. Seven of his 11 wins have come via knockout. He has been fighting professionally since 2012.

"I do see myself with that belt; it doesn't matter who's got it," Page said. "I will be making my way through all of them."
