However, Michael Venom Page believes that their similar styles might not result in an exciting fight. Speaking on MMA Hour, Page said:
”I’ve been hearing this from before I even got to the UFC and I always tell people the same thing, two positives doesn’t always make a positive. What will be a great fight for me and Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson will look like a terrible fight for everybody else because we’ll go back into autopilot of our point scoring system.”
”I just think the guy’s [Thompson] an amazing guy. I’m sure everyone thinks he’s an amazing guy but just seriously, meeting him, spending time with him, I have so much love and respect for him, would that be my first choice? Not at all.”
Thompson, known as ‘Wonderboy’, is renowned for his karate-based style and technical striking. He has been at the top of the welterweight division for years and has faced some of the best fighters in the world.
Michael ‘Venom’ Page, on the other hand, has a background in kickboxing and has been making a name for himself with his flashy knockouts and charismatic personality. His unique fighting style has earned him the nickname ‘Venom’.
Despite the fan hype, Page maintains his stance. He believes that a fight between two similar fighters might not be as entertaining as one might expect. He argues that contrasting styles often make for more exciting fights, as they force fighters to adapt and overcome challenges.
