“I am in two weight lessons. I mentioned I need to be welterweight,” Web page mentioned. “I had a middleweight battle with Shara ‘Bullet’ on a whim and I did not care. On the time I used to be like, ‘Okay, let me do the welterweight battle.'” Nobody is obtainable. “Okay, let me have one other middleweight battle.” They gave me one other middleweight battle (towards Cannonier). cool. “Please give us a welterweight match.” Nobody is obtainable. Why cannot anybody reply? That is actually what I messaged again.
“(I mentioned) ‘Okay, this man.’ I am not kidding. There was a battle the opposite day. There have been fairly a couple of welterweights in there. He simply gained the battle in fashion. I despatched a message to[the matchmakers]saying, ‘This battle in London is a superb battle for me.’ “Oh, he has a plan.” The person simply got here out of the cage. It has been months now and you do not have plans for me, however does he have plans? One thing’s occurring. ”
Web page has a 3-1 file since becoming a member of the UFC roster. He defeated Cannonier, Sharavdin Magomedov, and Kevin Holland. Web page’s solely loss within the UFC got here by unanimous determination towards Ian Machado Gary in June 2024.
As Web page talked about, he has bounced from welterweight to middleweight. Class does not appear to matter to “Venom,” he simply needs to safe his subsequent match.
