Michael 'Venom' Page vs Paul Daley is one of the hottest MMA rivalries going - and their fight will be live on Sky Sports in the early hours of February 17.
You can watch the action live on Sky Sports Main Event and Action at 3am on Sunday morning.
The pair of British contenders will settle their differences as a star attraction of Bellator's Welterweight World Grand Prix, a tournament that will eventually crown a champion.
But bad blood is also on the line between Page and Daley.
The unbeaten Page (13-0) is somewhat of an MMA prodigy who uses a variety of highlight reel movements to knock opponents out. However, he is missing a landmark victory that would propel his promising career onto the next level and sees his countryman Daley as the perfect foil.
The far more experienced Daley (40-16-2) has a simpler, grittier style than the flashy Page but believes his orthodoxy is the antidote to his rival's uniqueness.
Thirty of his 40 wins have come via TKO, and Daley packs a left hook to fear.
Their fight is a quarter-final in the World Grand Prix with the winner expected to face Douglas Lima.
Sky Sports will be the only place in the UK and Ireland to watch the US, London and Dublin shows of the Bellator MMA 2019 tour, starting next Saturday night when Michael Page fights Paul Daley.
