Page frustrated by 'politics' around Welterweight Division
After a loss for Ian Machado Garry on UFC 303 and the subsequent switch in weight class, it seemed as if 'MVP' was being done with fighting on 170 pounds.
In a recent interview prior to his fight against Cannonier, Page admitted that his relocation in weight class was not entirely his plan, but because of the 'politics' around the Welterweight Division, he was left without a choice.
“I actually wanted to go down again, I just think a lot of the boys of Welterweight, it seems very political, no one wants to fight, everyone wants to fight for specific people. I am not at that stage in my career, I want to fight against everyone and everyone and not everyone is in the same place,” said MVP Fred Talks Fights.
“While people in the middleweight are much more enthusiastic and prepared, especially because I come, they already know that they have a small advantage, but I am just ready to go against everyone,” he continued.
MVP offers prediction on Dricus du Plessis vs Khamzat Chimaev
The fight of 'Venom' Page comes on the undercard of the enormous middleweight title fight between Dricus du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev.
And if the Brit can continue to collect the victories in the division, he can fight for the title in the future at some point.
Prior to the enormous collision, 'MVP' gave his prediction for the fight and said: 'The more you view DDP, the more you have to respect the victories he gets, regardless of how he does it. It is very tactical, very competent, but looks messy.
“I actually got the privilege of viewing Khamzat Train, so I saw his quality, and I would definitely place my money that way, but it's just hard to bet about it.”
