Bellator’s event in London later this month has undergone its final changes and now is official. Bellator 158 lost its headliner earlier this week with the sudden death of heavyweight Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson, who was set to meet James Thompson. Paul Daley was supposed to fight Josh Koscheck in a grudge rematch, but a Koscheck injury put that bout on hold and, as previously reported, Daley will meet Douglas Lima in what will be the new headliner. In addition, British fan favorite Michael Page (10-0 MMA, 6-0 BMMA) has a new opponent for his welterweight fight. He’ll now meet Evangelista Santos (21-17 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) on the card in front of his home fans. “Venom” Page had been slated to fight Fernando Gonzalez (25-13 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) before an injury forced him out.
