Michael Page Frustrated With Recent Bellator Treatment: ‘It’s Time To Get The Claws Out’

[nuraknu]

What a frustrating 2017 it’s been for Michael Page.

The Bellator welterweight hasn’t fought since November 2016 when he defeated Fernando Gonzalez at Bellator 165. Since then, Page has been chasing a fight with Paul Daley, but his fellow Brit has turned down the opportunity to fight him on several occasions.

With a knee injury also keeping Page out of action at the last Bellator London card back in May, Page’s frustrations have been on edge all year, but one recent announcement angered him more than any other.

Pursuing Paul Daley...

On July 24 it was announced that Daley would take on Lorenz Larkin at Bellator 182 in September. After chasing a fight with “Semtex” for nearly 9-months and then having to listen to Daley call him a “p*ssy” from the centre of the Bellator cage after his loss to MacDonald in London, to hear he’d been given another lucrative fight ahead of him appears to have brought things to head....

This is a good interview. It's a long feature, not just some shit-stirring quotes out of context. It looks like there's going to be a second part about his boxing match.

 

[SuperPig]

Hot take: I can't be bothered to read his interview when he can't be bothered to stay healthy enough to fight.

It's been obvious for a little over a year now that Page wants to move to the ufc, and bellator is making him pay for that.

I don't know why he would want to give up his sponsorships to become a small fish. He is a hot enough commodity that he should be able to make more staying in Bellator and building his brand, I would think. Also, if he gets unlucky with opponents and injuries, like Will Brooks, then where will he be? He could fade into obscurity.

Feed him to rory

Page would be great in japan .he has a crazy style but he would get murdered by top level talent

Exactly what I was thinking. If I were Bellator I'd have him fight someone like McDonald, with great wrestling to beat him and then should he move to ufc, it would be at a much less value.

That's stupid. He's there top draw minus Fedor and the wagon of busted old ufc champs they have.

Only if he resigns.

He makes a good point- all he really said is: he's upset with Daley vs Larkin being booked (he should be), Bellator shouldn't have booked it (they shouldn't have), he's happy with Bellator right now so long as they pay him (they should or he's right to look elsewhere).

Why'd he duck Larkin?

MVP was never offered Larkin

Could have called him out instead of daley. Just sayin.

Larkin didn't stand in the middle of the Bellator cage and call him a pussy....

And?

 

[SickEye]

I just wanna see him fight again. Daley or Rory would be awesome.

Andrey Koreshkov might pwn him too or Lima
