Michael ‘Venom’ Page signed with the UFC last year. As soon as he was signed, Dana White set him up to have a matchup against Kevin Holland. As mentioned above, Page and Holland are set to clash on UFC 299. Page signed with the UFC at the age of 37 and this has raised some eyebrows from Holland who believes that ‘Venom’ signed with the promotion only for money.

“Always being a fan of mixed martial arts, seeing a guy like Michael Page do his thing, it’s always been amazing. (He’s) coming over to the UFC a little bit later than I expected him to ever do, kind of thought he never would. But, it’s nice to see him coming over and it’s nice to be the welcoming party… At the tail end of your career, you just want to get paid, so, obviously, he must be getting a pretty big bag to come over here and fight a guy like me,” said Holland to ESPN.
