Mumbai: In one of the most sought after MMA bouts in SFL 7, 'the British Anderson Silva' Michael 'Venom' Page defeated knockout artist, Haitham Tantawy of Egypt via Technical knockout submission.
6ft 3in London welterweight Page was coming off one of the knockouts of the year and looking to gain international recognition, whilst Tantawy was looking to become the first Egyptian fighter to win a fight in India, with three of his compatriots so far going home with losses. However, Tantawy had to join his compatriot going home with a KO.
