For most of his career, Michael ‘Venom’ Page maintained his reputation as one of the most entertaining fighters in MMA. However, at UFC London, the veteran British fighter’s reputation took a hit after his main card fight with Sam Patterson turned out to be a snoozer.
After dominating Jared Cannonier in his last fight in the middleweight division, fans expected Page to deliver a similar showing against 170 lbs prospect Sam Patterson. The stage was set at the O2 Arena for ‘Venom’ to put on a masterclass, but the fight ended up disappointing everyone as it turned out to be highly underwhelming.

Cut them both
What fight!? Nobody deserved a win from that nonsense.
They should’ve scored it a no contest cuz that was not a fight
These are the set of fighters that complain about Dana not paying well. And they go on to put on pathetic display like this. MVP is a disgrace. He should never fight again
Michael Venom Page is a fraud snoozer. Every single fight of his goes like this.
So boring but definitely the right decision
MVP didn’t lose that fight against Garry, he hasn’t lost to anyone in the UFC, we need him to fight someone in the top 5
