Michael 'Venom' Page squeaked home by the finest of margins but thrilled the home crowd at Wembley Arena by exacting revenge over Douglas Lima.
The headline act lived up to the billing at Bellator 267 with a striking clinic put on by both men but the home fighter, a man renowned for his highlight reel of stunning KOs, was at his precise best.
Lima was lifted onto the shoulders of his team after the three rounds, seemingly sure he had done enough but two of the judges scored it 29-28 for MVP.
