Michael Venom Page is slated to fight upcoming striking sensation Shara Magomedov at UFC Fight Night 250 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In the co-main event of the evening, fellow striking stars Israel Adesanya and Nassourdine Imamov face off in the night’s main event. However, it seems that the showdown between Muay Thai in Shara Magomedov and Karate mixed with Kung-Fu in Michael Venom Page is so intriguing to fans that it could potentially steal the show.
Especially with the build and both fighters’ history of never taking a fight to the ground, something that Magomedov has talked about in interviews with the media. Shara Magomedov would boldly claim he would be the first man to make Michael Page shoot for a takedown.
“I watched his fights. It doesn’t look like he goes for takedowns too much. But I’m going to be that person. I’m going to make MVP be the first one to jump for a takedown.”
Shara Magomedov VS Michael Venom Page is just too unpredictable.
Shara is looking to get another highlight reel knockout. This time, at the expense of Michael Venom Page, the former Bellator title contender is seemingly unfazed by the Dagestani striker’s bluster. Michael Page even seems to be taunting him by claiming that he would willingly grapple him. However, he would not be doing this out of fear. As he told Nina Drama during an interview,
“What he’s doing now is working, so I guess maybe if he runs into some obstacles, he may want to—he may change his perception on that. Because I’m going to take him down and choke him out.“
We will not know whether Michael Venom Page is sincere in this statement until fight night. However, the former Bellator star knows how to promote his fights. Intrigue for this fight is at an all-time high, so much so that most of us are even forgetting that he is fighting up a weight class to make this fight happen.
The betting odds for this fight favor Magomedov slightly, but it is never a safe bet when Page is on the other side of it as his Illustrious career in Bellator, stylish win over Kevin Holland, and close loss to top-ranked Ian Garry show. As this fight is as unpredictable and hectic as it gets in MMA.
