Michael Venom Page has some business to handle with the UFC, but first he\u2019s got somebody to kick in the face.<\/p>\n
With his contract situation still unresolved, Page enters UFC Paris against Nursulton Ruziboev knowing Saturday night could play a major role in what comes next. Instead of worrying about negotiations, however, MVP wants to remind the UFC and fight fans exactly why they wanted him here in the first place, and preferably do it in the most Michael Venom Page way possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s something to do with that after the fight. We\u2019re in fight mode now, that\u2019s not important, it has to be done before I get here this week,\u201d Page told reporters on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not something that I\u2019m interested in when I\u2019m here. The most important thing is Saturday, getting the result that I want, getting the win, and leaving a lasting impression.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s so much left for me to do, I\u2019m excited to do, I\u2019m still buzzing to be in this game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut then there\u2019s also I feel like I haven\u2019t delivered what I wanted to deliver. We don\u2019t seem to be as aligned as I thought we would be. Maybe in the beginning I felt like we were, and something\u2019s changed, but either way the goal is keep stepping out here and keep kicking people in the face.\u201d<\/p>\n
Page knows MMA fans have short memories, and in this sport you\u2019re basically only as good as whatever you did five minutes ago. So for MVP this one is about putting on the kind of performance that reminds the UFC and everybody watching exactly why they were so damn excited when he showed up in the first place.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone always remembers the last performance. So this performance is key to do exceptionally well for all of the above, but for me personally, specifically, to remind the UFC why they brought me to this organization,\u201d said Page.<\/p>\n
\u201cRemind the world as well. Remind the fans that oh yeah MVP can do this. Get them excited about seeing me again.\u201d<\/p>\n
