I am surprised he would sign with the UFC. He will be thrown to the wolves. The Chandler treatment. First up should be Wonder boy.

Well I did say decent wins, his lay and pray against Daley was also a bit sad to be honest, I don’t like the guy and if he joins the UFC I don’t like his chances against pretty much any ranked opponent.
Hard to argue against what you are saying in regards to his Bellator record and no belt, Storley aside though he did fight against Lima who was a former champ so he did step up somewhat in competition in his Bellator career.
Like I said he’s good to watch, sometimes.

That’s all fair. I would add that the loss to Lima came from a matchup he didn’t control. He was in the tournament and ended up matched-up. I was surprised Bellator let that happen before the finals.
And yes, he is talented and fun to watch, which is why his career is so disappointing.

Bellator gave him permission. He fought Mike Perry and lost a decision.

Would be dope to see him in Rizin or ONE

Last week, Michael “Venom” Page broke the news that he was now a free agent after nearly a decade of fighting with Bellator. The popular British welterweight consistently managed to create viral moments in his fights that escaped ‘the Bellator bubble,’ and now many are wondering whether he may finally join the UFC.
Page was certainly given the red carpet treatment at this weekend’s UFC London event at the O2 Arena. Not only was he given solid seats up close to the action, he was featured on the broadcast. The UFC isn’t known to promote fighters that aren’t on the roster, so it certainly signaled some interest.
UFC president Dana White wasn’t on hand for the UFC London post-fight press conference but executive David Shaw discussed the possibility of signing “Venom.”
“Perhaps. I’ve got no idea,” he admitted. ”I assume that we would, given the fact that he’s here. Maybe he’s a free agent, but definitely a question for Dana. We were talking about it the other day, a long list of individuals who’ve come over and done really well.”
“Look at [Justin] Gaethje and [Michael] Chandler and a few other guys. It would be pretty exciting to add him to the mix, for sure.”
Page has said he plans to “see where my value is at” on the free market, and didn’t rule out a return to Bellator. But with the promotion potentially being sold in the coming months, that leaves a lot of room for other suitors like the UFC to snap him up.

Hope there isn’t an MVP fights cans clause in that contract.

I honestly wouldn’t mind him crushing cans. That way we get to see viscous KOs
This wouldn’t surprise me. They like keeping their Euro fighters fighting in the UK too.
