Another highlight reel knockout victory in the books for Michael ‘Venom’ Page (17-1 MMA), but ‘MVP’ finds himself under fire following his latest KO win over Shinsho Anzai (11-4 MMA) at Bellator Japan on Saturday.
Despite continually pushing for a rematch with Bellator welterweight champion Douglas Lima, Page has been criticized for accepting fights against overmatched opponents and padding his record against ‘cans’.
Page responded to the criticism at a Bellator 237 post-fight media scrum, telling reporters that he is making his opponents look like cans because of how slick he is in the cage.
”Where I’m at now, I find it a bit of a compliment,” Page said of the ‘can crusher’ label (h/t Ryan Harkness of MMA Mania).
