Michael Page got the win on Saturday in London, but not everyone was thrilled watching it — including, allegedly, Dana White.
Page defeated Sam Patterson via unanimous decision in the featured bout at UFC London, but it brought out the boobirds in the O2 Arena.
In fact, a tweet from Scott Lagdon, who was at UFC London, said that White left during Page’s victory, and didn’t return for quite some time — if at all. Following the win, Page reacted to White potentially leaving his fight.
“Nah, not really,” Page said to reporters. “Again, it’s just when you’re a man in those positions, remember everything that you do has a big effect. You create bigger waves with what you do and what you say. I guess he needs to be mindful of these things but he’s known to be his own man. He does what he does.
“But for me, it’s just go out and perform the best as I can next time and, next time, make him sit in his seat.”
Page wasn’t happy with the performance overall, and also placed a lot of the blame on Patterson for not engaging in the low-volume matchup.
“MVP” also made waves with his choice of walkout songs for the fight, selecting “They Don’t Care About Us,” by Michael Jackson.
Page asked if he was using it as a subtle shot at the UFC considering his frustrations in the build to UFC London.
“I think there’s a multitude of things but you only have to look at the world,” Page explained. “You don’t have to look that far. You only have to look at what’s going on. And just, in all honesty, the powers that be in so many different aspects just don’t give a shit about us, if I’m being honest.
“Any time I hear the news, news channels, whatever, it’s just so negative, and [there’s] so much pain going on in the world right now. That track is so old and still so relevant. It’s ridiculous. That track is relevant now — for my own frustrations, and for the world’s frustrations. Right now, that track is relevant, and it shouldn’t be. That’s what’s annoying. … It should be a memorable track, not, ‘That hits home now.’
“I feel like everybody at the top needs to disappear. We need to start fresh.”
