Michael 'Venom' Page aims for all-UK showdown with Leon Edwards

Michael 'Venom' Page has expressed his eagerness to face UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards, and hopes for the potential matchup to take place on British soil.

During a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Page mentioned that scoring a notable knockout win against Kevin Holland might set the stage for a bout against 'Rocky:'

"I want to give a big knockout, a big knockout, and then let’s go for the belt. Hopefully, Leon’s still got the belt. I definitely believe he can still have the belt. We can sell out a stadium. We can make so much noise and sell out a stadium in the U.K. and bring an untold story to the UFC."

He added:

"It's an absolutely massive fight. It makes a stadium to where the U.K. artists are at this stage of MMA. The U.K. guys are doing so well. All you have to do is look at Tom Aspinall doing his thing as well at heavyweight. The fact we could get two U.K. guys to headline a main event in the U.K. is unbelievable. For a belt? Like I said, it’s unheard of. Let’s make it happen."
