Free agency apparently was never an option for Michael Page . The British welterweight standout on Wednesday told ESPN.com that he’s signed a new, flexible contract with Bellator that will keep him with the Viacom-owned promotion for the foreseeable future. Why flexible? Because the deal also allows undefeated Page (13-0 MMA, 9-0 BMMA) to continue boxing, where he’s 2-0 with two stoppage wins. “The contract is for six fights and 100 percent I am still able to box,” Page said. “It will still be under the same circumstances, as in I still have to get permission cleared from Bellator, which is fine and understandable, especially with the tournament coming up.” Related Michael Page still eyes Paul Daley, welcomes 'underrated' Douglas Lima in Bellator tourney final As one of Bellator’s biggest names who’s earned the reputation of a knockout artist, the 31-year-old Page certainly could’ve finished out his previous deal and tested free agency to find out his worth.
