Page made a brilliant boxing win with (1-0) over Castano (2-12-1) at Fight Night on Dave at Indigo at the O2 club Greenwich, England. Bellator welterweight continues to appear loose throughout the fight, used his unorthodox style to floor the opponent down with right hand eventually. Later it was immediately stopped by the referee.
