Caldwell (8-0) faces “The Baddest Man on the Planet” Joe Warren
(13-4). The televised card airs live and free on SPIKE at 9 p.m.
ET/8 p.m. CT, while preliminary bouts will stream live on

Mixed martial arts fans and pundits alike would be hard-pressed to find a striker as dynamic as Page.

Now “Venom” looks to strike against Gonzalez, who is no stranger to being the underdog when he enters the Bellator MMA fray. A proud son of London, England, the 28-year-old Page has only reached the judges’ scorecards once in his nine professional outings and hopes that his first fight since “Bellator 144: Halsey vs. Carvalho” is no different.

Gonzalez took a brief hiatus from MMA to compete in the kickboxing
portion of the groundbreaking “Bellator MMA: Dynamite 1” event in
September, losing a tightly contest decision to world-renown
kickboxer Paul “Semtex” Daley. Gonzalez now returns to his comfort
zone of MMA, where he has strung together an impressive four-fight
winning streak. A veteran of the Scott Coker-founded Strikeforce
promotion, as well as World Extreme Cagefighting, Gonzalez has been
competing professionally since 2003.
