Is Everyone Scared Of MVP?

Michael Page is trying to land an opponent for UFC 304 on July 27 in Manchester.

Unfortunately, the 37 year-old Englishman seems to be the least popular welterweight on the roster, at least when it comes to his 170-pound peers.

“I feel fresh after my last fight, more than willing to go,” Page said on on UFC DAY OFF. “I think there is definitely a want for me to be on that card, it’s just … who’s ready? It seems that everyone has got hamstring issues and stuff all of a sudden. It just seems like we’re trying to get an opponent and nobody seems to be ready.”

Page made his UFC debut with a decision win over Kevin Holland.

In a perfect world, “Venom” would land former title challenger Colby Covington, but it seems like “Chaos” is content to sit on the sidelines and run his mouth.

“I hate this guy,” Page said of Covington. “I’m going to be happy to kick this guy in the face. … I find him fake. He just doesn’t seem like a nice guy. With all the stuff that came out last time about what fighters should and shouldn’t be allowed to talk about with regards to people. People are going deep now, talking about each other’s wives, and moms and dads, and he was very much into it, I just didn’t like that. I come from a martial arts background, so that’s not the way we do things. I think he’s trying too hard to stay relevant. As much as we are a tough sport, we want to show that we’re true sportsmen.”

Good luck with that. Covington and sportsmanship go together like Dana White and Oscar De La Hoya.
