Michael Page vs. Jared Cannonier UFC 319 Result
A slow start of a round in life when Page scored a knock-down of one punch on the middle point.
Cannonier bounced on his feet again before he was taunted by his showman opponent, who told him to calm down while he danced around the Octagon.
'The Killa Gorilla' held most of the first frame page against the Octagon Wall, but he could not get the Takedown and probably lost the round.
Page landed early and often during the second stanza. The 38-year-old had Rogan in Hysterics while making his way through the opening moments of round two.
'MVP' scored a heavy knockdown, but Cannonier was again able to get up again and to initiate a grabbing exchange against the fence.
Page was made to pay because it was too comfortable at the start of the round three. Cannonier assembled him after a Superman Punch attempt had gone very wrong.
The 41-year-old endangered most of the final round with entries. With a minute to go, he switched to the floor and pounds while hunting a comeback Ko.
Page survived to score a unanimous decision (29-28 x3) victory, thanks to the judges of the Cageside.
“I wanted to push a little more in the third round,” he told Joe Rogan after the fight.
“I made a foolish mistake. Bloody Hell, he is strong at the top.”

“Kevin Holland was like” where the F – is he? I can't find him! “
Page responded to the praise by calling Rogan 'Smart' during the UFC 319 Media Day on Wednesday.
“I always thought that Joe Rogan is a really smart guy,” said the English fan's favorite.
“It's a puzzle because there are not many people who come from my style of background.
“Finding training partners [to prepare for me] Is almost impossible. The closest person you will find is is [Stephen] 'Wonderboy' Thompson. “
