Michael Page, Paul Daley, Bellator

This card will be headlined a welterweight grudge match between British knockout artists Paul Daley and Michael “Venom” Page. This grudge match serves as the penultimate quarterfinal bout of the promotion’s exciting welterweight Grand Prix, with the winner advancing to battle former champ Douglas Lima in the second round.

The Bellator 216 card will also feature a number-one contender fight in the heavyweight division, as former champion Vitaly Minakov makes his long-awaited return to the Bellator cage for a rematch with Cheick Kongo, who he defeated by close decision previously.

The card will also include a fan friendly showdown between heavyweight knockout artists Roy Nelson and Mirko Cro Cop, as well as names like Yaroslav Amosov, Erick Silva and Valerie Loureda.

On Friday morning, the 24 fighters on the card stepped onto the scales to weigh in for battle. As luck would have it, nobody missed weight.

Page hasn’t fought since a unanimous decision loss to Ian Machado Garry at UFC 303. Since then, he’s signed up for his first professional grappling match and got into a wild altercation with a former teammate during UFC 304 fight week.

Bellator star Paul Hughes wants Conor McGregor in his corner for a possible title shot against Usman Nurmagomedov. Last weekend, Paul Hughes made an emphatic statement. In his battle with AJ McKee at PFL: Battle of the Giants, he was able to put in the performance of a lifetime. He dropped the favorite and hurt him on multiple occasions, eventually riding his way to a split decision win. Now, many believe the natural next step is for him to challenge Bellator champion Usman Nurmagomedov for the belt.

It appears that Bellator veteran Dillon Danis wants to return to the cage. The controversial ‘El Jefe’ hasn’t been seen in action since his boxing match with Logan Paul a year ago. In the co-main event of Misfits 10, Dillon Danis was badly outboxed by ‘The Maverick’. Despite a lot of pre-fight trash talk, the MMA fighter was very little more than a heavy bag last October.

Khabib Nurmagomedov started choking Umar Nurmagomedov, seemingly out of anxiety, while watching Usman Nurmagomedov compete last week. Last week, Usman Nurmagomedov defeated Alexander Shabliy with a dominant unanimous decision triumph to successfully retain his Bellator lightweight championship. It was a really solid display and in his corner, he had Umar Nurmagomedov and the great Khabib Nurmagomedov there to guide him through the contest.
