Overview
- Page beat former training partner Sam Patterson by unanimous decision on Saturday at London’s O2 Arena in a low‑action three‑round fight that drew boos from the crowd.
- Dana White called it a “bad fight,” and Joe Rogan and Michael Bisping panned the bout’s lack of exchanges as Page landed 33 of 61 strikes with roughly 39 significant strikes combined reported across three rounds.
- Following the backlash, Page posted that the performance was not what he aims to give, said he is not “here to be in boring fights,” and later told Ariel Helwani he grew frustrated after failing to adjust mid‑fight.
- Page disclosed he has one fight left on a six‑fight UFC contract and said he will seek talks on a clear path to a title shot, asking for a next opponent who will press the action so he can “showcase” his offense.
- Despite the criticism, Page rose one spot to No. 12 at welterweight, and coverage noted reports that White left the arena during or after the bout, which Page said he could understand as he works for a quick turnaround to reset his momentum.
