Michael Page isn’t happy with his win over Sam Patterson.
Michael Page isn’t happy with his win over Sam Patterson . Page took on former training partner Patterson in a welterweight matchup at UFC London on Saturday. The two Englishmen failed to impress the London crowd as the feeling-out process never seemed to end.
Despite referee Rich Mitchell urging for more action, Page and Patterson just continued to occasionally touch each other from a distance. While Page earned a unanimous decision win in a bout filled with inactivity, London’s O2 Arena showered him with boos. Page admits that it was a frustrating night at the office for him.
“MVP” accuses his opponent of coasting for most of the fight. Page says it’s difficult to track even lesser fighters when they are unwilling to engage. Page also believes Patterson knew when to avoid him from their past experience training together.
What Page can’t comprehend is whether Patterson had a winning strategy at all. Page feeld that Patterson was just happy to go the distance against him. The frustrating outing is making “MVP” consider changing his style altogether.
