"Thinks that he is still in Bellator" - Michael 'Venom' Page's hopes of securing all-UK title fight with Leon Edwards met with trolls

Michael 'Venom' Page expressed his willingness to face UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards in the near future, aspiring for the matchup to take place on British soil.

The former Bellator MMA knockout artist is scheduled to make his promotional debut against Kevin Holland at UFC 299 on March 9.

During a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Page conveyed that securing a significant knockout victory over Holland could position him for a potential matchup against 'Rocky':

"I want 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."
