Venom Page is the real deal and showed he always belonged in the UFC

[Dyson350]

Lets see how he does against a good wrestler who pressures.

 

[Johnnny]

He was a gatekeeper to the Top 5 in Bellator. He will be a gatekeeper to the Top 10 in the UFC.

Glad he got to show his skill set against a tough fighter

I think it mostly shows that Holland is not UFC level.

 

[Katsushyro]

He showed he is a pretty good kickboxer, but the felling that any decent wrestler would nullify him is stronger than ever

Ok when has that “ ufc is the major leagues” ever worked out?

Remember when there was a time you guys use to laugh at even thinking a WEC lightweight, could even be a top 10 lightweight in ufc.. let alone a champ.

Jake Shields/Hector Lombard (both came to the UFC with double-digit win streaks) and many others who couldn't come close to replicating what they did outside the UFC. Gilbert Melendez, Chandler and many others come to mind as well.

Who said he wasn't?

Like really people thought he couldn't fight strikers in the UFC? Doubtful.

Now put him against an elite wrestler.

 

[Royce Greasy]

He beat Lima in a rematch, and the Storley fight could have gone either way depending on who you ask. It was Storley holding MVP for long periods and MVP landing strikes. Hard to score.

I watched the Storley fight and I can say that by the last 3 minutes of the fight MVP was fading and starting to get hit a lot.

I think it mostly shows that Holland is not UFC level.

Even though Holland gave JDM a close fight, ran through Chiesa, Ponzinnibio, Buckley, and nearly KO'd Wonderboy?

 

[achoo42]

Eh it wasn't all that great. Holland is basically a gatekeeper type guy. Couldn't put him away. I was not impressed by his performance... ha

Wonderboy wheel kicked him to the face half a dozen times and couldn't KO him.

 

[Tweak896]

You guys are crazy. Holland has a chin and MVP looked amazing. Whenever guys go for clinch he never gets the finish usually. I would love Leon vs MVP, I don't care if Belal has to wait.

 

[Substance Abuse]

I think MVP is a top ten guy at best, but if you can't force him out of his comfort zone, he's going to pick you apart. I thought Holland would win. He clearly lost. Props to MVP.

You lack perspective

MVP vs Leon would be great. I don't mind seeing MVP get "favorable" match ups on the way like Alex has. He's on a time limit

 

[Sgt Smith]

Holland is a decent fighter and entertaining, but let's not act like MVP dispatched one of the best. A good win to start his tenure in the promotion, nothing more.

 

[TITS]

I like Vernon Page too. He's a good kid.

Chiesa is a former LW, Buckley is a bum, Wonderboy is 40

 

[RockyLockridge]

Jack della vs page would be fun

 

[Morning Star]

He's a fun addition to the division. Let him get another fight or 2 this year.
