#4. Michael Venom Page vs. Jason Jackson
Another fight that would make sense for Michael Venom Page in Bellator is the No.3-ranked Jason Jackson.
Jackson is currently on an impressive 5-fight winning streak that has seen him control his opponents en route to a unanimous decision. Jackson has proven that he deserves to be recognized among the best in the division. His winning streak includes wins over Benson Henderson, Neiman Gracie and Paul Daley. The win over Gracie was most impressive as he out-grappled him, which is Gracie’s strength.

Like his previous bouts with Douglas Lima, Page would be in for a tough test against Jackson. Page would have to be at the top of his game against a well-rounded opponent. Although 'MVP' is on a six-fight winning streak, the promotion may be against awarding him a title shot. Three of Page’s last four fights were catchweight bouts, so it’d be understandable if they’d want him to compete against Jackson.
Depending on what direction Bellator goes in for Amosov’s first title defense, an 'MVP' vs. Jackson bout could serve as a title-eliminator.
#3) Michael Venom Page vs. Paul Daley 2
If Bellator decides to revisit a past fight for 'MVP', a rematch with Paul Daley would make sense. Page and Daley fought in 2019, at Bellator 216. The bout was part of a quarter-final matchup in the Bellator welterweight Grand Prix that saw Page win by unanimous decision.
Many fans criticized the bout for not living up to the hype. However there was still animosity between the two. The promotion could certainly cash in on that with a rematch. MVP and Daley have both competed in catchweight bouts, so the rematch could take place at either 170lbs or 175lbs.
MVP’s rematch with Lima was very successful in Bellator’s return to the United Kingdom. If Bellator returns to the London, there’s no question MVP vs. Daley 2 could generate the highest gate in Bellator history. With both being popular British fighters, it wouldn’t be too far fetched that it headlines a Bellator event at the O2 Arena.
