Michael Page will face Logan Storley for the interim welterweight championship in the Bellator 281 headliner on Friday at The SSE Arena in London. The winner figures to serve as the divisional torchbearer until Amosov can return from his war-torn Ukrainian homeland. Page steps to the stage on a run of six consecutive victories. The London Shootfighters star last appeared at Bellator 267, where he eked out a contentious split decision over former titleholder Douglas Lima on Oct. 1. Storley, meanwhile, has recorded back-to-back wins. The Sanford MMA rep last competed on Feb. 19, when he laid claim to a unanimous verdict over Neiman Gracie in the Bellator 274 main event.
