Michael ‘Venom’ Page made quite an impression in his middleweight debut on Saturday night in Saudi Arabia
In Riyadh this past weekend, the previous welterweight contender moved as much as 185-pounds with a view to placed on an interesting striking matchup against the undefeated Shara Magomedov.
Page’s unique striking dominated the co-main event of the evening as he went on to grow to be the primary man to defeat ‘Bullet’, winning all three rounds on two of the scorecards.
After getting his hand raised, ‘MVP’ was honest about not knowing whether he’ll stay at middleweight in the intervening time but moving up or down with a view to placed on essentially the most exciting fights is something that he’s clearly open to, as he proved by taking up a dangerous challenge.
In his post-fight press conference, Michael ‘Venom’ Page planted an idea within the heads of fight fans that they hadn’t even considered prior to now by saying that he’d welcome a light-weight heavyweight bout with the previous champion, Jiri Prochazka.
Renato Moicano predicts Page would defeat Prochazka
The potential of seeing two of essentially the most dynamic and exciting strikers in the game collide has got fans excited and UFC lightweight contender Renato Moicano has got a hot take to share.
Despite the indisputable fact that when each men are competing of their natural weight classes, there are two divisions between them, ‘Money’ believes that the smaller man could have the sting.
Moicano posted on X that he believes Page could defeat Jiri Prochazka who recently returned to the win column by stopping Jamahal Hill at UFC 311 last month.
The #10-ranked lightweight contender also recommend that the fight could happen at middleweight considering that Prochazka has spoken about competing at 185-pounds in recent times.
“Unpopular opinion! MVP would beat Jiri Prochazca even within the Light Heavyweight!!!! And so they could make this fight in middleweight!!!”
Michael ‘Venom’ Page has a whole lot of options right away
Michael ‘Venom’ Page is in a really unique position right away after earning his second win contained in the Octagon.
The 37-year-old remains to be ranked contained in the top 15 at welterweight having opened his UFC account with a win over Kevin Holland before suffering his first defeat against Ian Machado Garry.
After earning the victory over a ranked middleweight, Page goes to have rather a lot more doors open for him which should lead to a different exciting matchup for him within the near future.
It seems unlikely that Prochazka will move all the way down to middleweight right away considering his status at 205-pounds but ‘MVP’ won’t be slim on decisions now that he has each 170 and 185 as viable routes.
