Michael Page (16-1 MMA, 12-1 BMMA) finished late-notice replacement Giovanni Melillo (13-5 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) in just 1:47 on Saturday.
“MVP” smashed with a thumping right hand to bring the SSE Arena crowd to their feet at the end of a dramatic main card in London.
Melillo looked scared to be in the same cage with Page. He kept his hands up defensively almost the entire fight. Even that was of no help to him.
Middleweight prospects also looked to hit a home run in friendly confines as “Assassin” Fabian Edwards (8-0) faced “Seabass” Michael Shipman (13-2).
