In what turned out to be mostly a surprising grappling affair between two dangerous strikers, Michael Page edged out veteran Paul Daley via unanimous decision to win the welterweight tournament at Bellator 216, in Uncasville, Connecticut. On Twitter, not all pro fighters enjoyed the fight,
In my humble opinion I don’t feel like bellator has very many good match ups, but this main event is going to be fire .

Then elbows thrown by MVP when he was on Paul’s back were suspects fuck. #Bellator216

Wow that was horrific, white belt level. Should have been gentlemen’s agreement for no takedowns.
