Bellator: Michael ‘Venom’ Page responds to jabs from Douglas Lima – ‘I live in his head’
- Lima mocks ‘MVP’ on social media after Briton’s unanimous decision win vs Ross Houston at historic Bellator 248 show in Paris
- ‘Near enough every fight, I hear something from him that basically suggests he doesn’t want to make this fight happen again,’ says Page
During Saturday night’s landmark Bellator 248 show held at the Accor Arena in Paris, France, Michael “Venom” Page put in a dominant performance to see off the highly touted prospect Ross Houston.
But his biggest critic was clearly not impressed, and decided to come out of the woodwork.
The 33-year-old “MVP” (18-1) uncharacteristically moved away from utilising his flashy karate techniques against the Scottish “Hitman” (8-1), with the canvas being much more slippery than expected. Instead, he was more cautious with a traditional boxing stance, leading to a unanimous decision on the judges’ scorecards.
After Page had his hand raised in victory inside the cage, he took to the mic and gave a stern warning to Bellator welterweight champion Douglas Lima, the man who put the only blemish on the Briton’s record.
“I only want one person, one person has given me my defeat. Wherever you go – middleweight, I’ll find you. Light heavyweight, I’ll find you. Heavyweight, I’ll find you. That’s the rematch I want,” Page said.
