There's a fairly decent amount of hype behind him actually. The problem is he's only fought scrubs up to now, so it's hard to gauge how effective his skills will be against decent opponents.

I believe he's getting a step up in opposition for his next fight.

He is very entertaining and I tune in to watch him every chance I get. It will be interesting to see how it plays out when he does fight better competition.

I'm going to see him fight on the 4th :) been a fan for a long time now. He'll be champion soon.

I really like Venom Page, I always get excited to watch him fight. But like mentioned above, it's time for him to step up and fight some serious competition. We know he can look like a million bucks against C-level guys. I think Fenando Gonzalez is a good test for him, they both have similar Bellator records. If he wins that, a showdown with Douglas Lima or Paul Daley would be fantastic.

Venom is a future star if Bellator brings him along properly...which they have done so far, and I'm sure Coker will continue to do.

Two years from now, I predict Coker has a stable of studs that similar to the glory days of Strikeforce. Page, Fortune, Ruth, Straus, etc.

Fortune, Ruth, Page, Caldwell, Held, Brooks, Barbaric Derek, Straus, Yammauchi, Picco, A.J McKee, Piccolotti...

Coker is doing with Bellator what Popovich and Holt did with the Spurs- while you were focused on Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, they were building up their young talent- Danny Green, Patty Mills, Khawi Leonard- aquiring David West, Lamarcus Aldridge, Boban Marjanovich. And now they're dominating.

Not if you compare it to a sage northcutt, I would put MVP higher in my P4P ranking, wouldn't you?
Probably has to do something with the UFC's promotion machine.

P4P ranking conversation makes no sense for either of them.

I make it a point to watch MVP fight, as well as spread the gospel according to Page.

Both haven't even sniffed a top 20 guy. MVP probably has better all around skills but both havent fought top guys yet so who knows. He could be an Uriah Hall. Real good on TUF against journeymen but gets beat by top 20-30 guys. We will see.

Page is a fucking beast and has so many assets...Normally doesn't need most of them to win.

Looking forward to watching him rise.

Yeah but i just meant to say i rank him higher skill wise, not that he should be on that list at this moment.

Sage a pretty good fighter but the amount of hype is far larger than it should be compared to MVP

Well, Sage has the entire UFC machine behind him, while Page is in Bellator, so that's to be expected.

But I agree, the UFC must think that Sage is the "perfect" fit for their "key demographic" or something like that.

I think by this time next year MVP will have either already fought for the title or will have a title fight scheduled for the near future

But who has better martial arts credentials ? I'd say sage , he has tons of karate medals and championships under his cap and has had success in other martial arts too like amateur wrestling and some grappling tournaments , he does have less mma fights and less kos though but has shown a more well rounded skill set than page has displayed . Let's just make them fight and see lol
