This resulted in his skull getting crushed. When Perry talked about Page and the power of his legs. Rogan said, “He is very dangerous. The knockout of Cyborg was f*cking crazy. That was crazy. I mean, he caved his forehead in.” After listening to the shocking tale, Perry responded, “With his legs, that’s what I’m saying. His legs are dangerous. It’s interesting for me, you know. I’m hungry for fights. I want to fight all these moth**f*ckers.“
‘Venom’ is one of the toughest fighters that the world has witnessed. Now, after having a glorious career in MMA, he is looking for new challenges in boxing. It is Page’s fighting style that makes him stand out from the rest. His MMA moves originate from a mixture of Kung Fu, Karate, and Taekwondo. Due to the same reason, his opponents find it hard to stand against him as his moves are totally unpredictable. One of his most remarkable fighting styles is the ‘drunken monkey’ style.
The bout between Michael ‘Venom’ Page and Evangelista ‘Cyborg’ Santos
The bout between ‘Venom’ and ‘Cyborg’ at Bellator 158 went down in history as one of the most brutal fights. The clash between the two fighters took place in Page’s homeland, London. Most of the audience wanted him to keep his undefeated record intact. During the first round of the bout, the fans felt that the two fighters were kind of equal. However, things turned completely in favor of Page in the second round.
In the second round, ‘Venom’ went for his drunken monkey moves, and his opponent became clueless about what was happening. This resulted in ‘Cyborg’ changing his defensive position. When Santos leaned his head towards Page, he suddenly landed a counter knee on ‘Cyborg’s head. The impact of the blow was so severe that his skull was severely damaged.
