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.
