Bellator 179 is in the books, but you needn’t worry about seeing the results of all of the fights in this post. This is only to show what happened after the main event between Rory MacDonald and Paul Daley.

MMAjunkie’s Chamatkar Sandhu was on-site at The SSE Arena in London, England, and he captured footage of Daley confronting Michael Page. A brief scuffle ensues before Daley is taken away by security.

Page was supposed to be the co-main event of today’s show, but had to withdraw from his fight against Derek Anderson due to a knee injury. The undefeated striking specialist has never been booked to fight his fellow compatriot, but Daley has been more than vocal about what he thinks of page.

In recent interviews, Daley has called Page “deluded,” and also said of Page’s latest injury-related pullout, “It seems that every time there is a genuine test for Mike, where we see if we can see something else, not someone who can necessarily beat him, but someone who will be able to highlight something or see if he has the right quality to go forward, he seems to get injured.”

Bellator 179 has not only not aired in the United States, but as of this article’s 6 PM ET publish, the main event hasn’t been shown on Channel 5 in the United Kingdom. You can catch our “presented as live” play-by-play of the card at 9 PM ET on Spike.
