Anik: Michael Page deserves bigger UFC fights
26 Mar
Summary
- Jon Anik discussed Michael Page's UFC future.
- Page recently won a unanimous decision against Patterson.
- Anik suggested top welterweight contenders for Page.
Jon Anik, a UFC commentator, has expressed his thoughts on Michael Page's career trajectory following a recent win. Page secured a unanimous decision against Sam Patterson at UFC Fight Night 270 this past Saturday. The performance, however, drew criticism from fans and UFC CEO Dana White, who described it as a "bad fight."
Page himself questioned the UFC's decision to pair him against his former training partner, especially given Patterson's relative obscurity. Anik suggested that while Page previously competed at middleweight, his championship potential likely lies in the welterweight division. Anik mused about the UFC's investment in Page and proposed potential opponents like Joaquin Buckley, Belal Muhammad, and Kamaru Usman.
Page, who has one fight remaining on his contract, hopes to re-sign with the UFC. Anik emphasized that Page "should be getting the biggest possible fights" rather than facing teammates like Patterson.
