Michael "Venom" Page is competing in his second consecutive middleweight fight against Jared Cannonier. Page initially expected to fight at welterweight but has found more opportunities at middleweight, leading to a potential permanent move. While he is open to returning to welterweight, the middleweight division allows him to stay more active without the burden of a weight cut. Cannonier's aggressive approach is anticipated during the fight, as Page prepares for significant pressure from his opponent with a focus on maintaining his performance level and activity in the sport.
"100% I assumed it was going to be back at 170. I voiced that, I wanted this as a one-off. It's seeming more and more that it's going to be more than even this fight now, potentially."
"I do see there's a lot of opportunities and hungry fighters at the middleweight division. Not having to cut an extra 15 pounds also makes it easier for MVP to stay active."
