Dan Hardy’s Take on Michael Page’s UFC Debut
Former UFC welterweight fighter Dan Hardy recently shared his thoughts on Michael ‘Venom’ Page’s highly anticipated UFC debut. Page, a fan favorite in Bellator, is known for his impressive striking and entertaining fighting style. He is set to make his Octagon debut at UFC 299 against Kevin Holland.
Hardy, who has been following Page’s career closely, expressed his excitement about ‘Venom’ joining the UFC. However, he also voiced his concerns about Page calling out UFC Welterweight Champion Leon Edwards. Hardy believes that both fighters should focus on dominating the 170-pound division before facing each other.
Page’s Journey in Bellator
With a professional MMA record of 21-2, Page has had an impressive career in Bellator. Despite his talent and flashy style, he never managed to capture the Bellator welterweight belt. His closest shot at the interim Bellator gold ended in a controversial split decision loss to Logan Storley at Bellator 281.
Hardy’s Perspective
In an interview with MMA Crazy, Hardy expressed his admiration for both Page and Edwards. He stated, ‘I love both of those guys, right? And, like, of course, you know, if we’ve got two Brits fighting for a world title, that shows where British mixed martial arts is at, of course. But I don’t want to see those two guys fight one another really. I want to see them both kind of carve up the division aside from that.’
Hardy’s sentiment reflects his desire to see both fighters excel individually and establish themselves as dominant forces in the welterweight division.
Looking Ahead
As Page prepares for his UFC debut, fans eagerly anticipate his performance against Holland. While a potential matchup between Page and Edwards may be enticing, Hardy’s perspective sheds light on the importance of allowing both fighters to make their mark in the division before facing off.
