The main event of \u201cBellator 151: Warren vs. Caldwell\u201d features yet another undefeated Bellator MMA competitor, when Darrion \u201cThe Wolf\u201d Caldwell (8-0) faces \u201cThe Baddest Man on the Planet\u201d Joe Warren (13-4).

Mixed martial arts fans and pundits alike would be hard-pressed to find a striker as dynamic as Page. Look no further than his last outing against Charlie Ontiveros, or his 65-second knockout of Rudy Bears. Now \u201cVenom\u201d 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\u2019 scorecards once in his nine professional outings and hopes that his first fight since \u201cBellator 144: Halsey vs. Carvalho\u201d is no different.<\/p>\n

Gonzalez took a brief hiatus from MMA to compete in the kickboxing portion of the groundbreaking \u201cBellator MMA: Dynamite 1\u201d event in September, losing a tightly contest decision to world-renown kickboxer Paul \u201cSemtex\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

What type of shakeup will this pivotal matchup have to the warzone that is the 170-pound division, tune into the third Bellator MMA event in three consecutive weeks on Spike to find out!<\/p>\n
