Michael “Venom” Page has shared his thoughts on his upcoming opponent ahead of his second fight in the Octagon at UFC 303. Page, a former Bellator Welterweight contender from England, is set to face Ireland’s Ian Machado Garry on June 29, 2024, alongside the highly-anticipated comeback of Conor McGregor against Michael Chandler.
Page believes that Garry is trying to mirror Conor McGregor, describing him as a subpar imitation of the renowned fighter. He feels that Garry is capitalizing on McGregor’s success to gain recognition and fame in the combat sports world. Despite sharing the spotlight with McGregor on the fight card, Page is determined to carve out his own identity and draw attention to the event through his performance.
As a fighter known for his flamboyant style in MMA, Page views Garry’s behavior as inauthentic and contrived, drawing parallels to his previous critique of Colby Covington. Page stresses the importance of being genuine and promoting oneself without putting on a facade. He secured a victory in his UFC debut by defeating Kevin Holland at UFC 299 in March 2024.
Looking ahead to his bout with Garry, Page aims to overshadow the buzz surrounding his opponent by showcasing his talents and establishing his presence in the Octagon through his skills and performance.
