Paul Daley wants to eliminate the thought of once being friends with Michael Page.
Bellator has been using the tagline, “Friends2Foes” for the upcoming bout between Daley and Page. The bout will be featured in the Bellator Welterweight World Grand Prix on Feb. 16. It’ll headline Bellator 216 inside the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Paul Daley Dismisses Past Friendship With Michael Page
A press conference was held in the United Kingdom to hype up the match-up. Daley claimed he was never really Page’s friend (via MMAFighting.com):
“I have no relationship [with Page] and I find it funny, the tag, ‘Friends2Foes’, I was never his friend. I work for the same promotion as him, we did a few PR shoots together; we were never friends. [MVP] says I can be a little bit erratic with all of this and I probably can be… but for this fight I’m quite steady. All the talk is over, February 16th we’re going to fight and that is that.”
Things have gotten heated between Daley and Page over the last two years. What really kicked the feud into a new gear was when Page mentioned Daley’s mother on an international podcast. “Semtex” charged at “Venom” in the crowd at Bellator 179 back in May 2017.
