Page picked up another unanimous decision win in the final bout of
his contract. Robert Whittaker explains why Michael Page’s UFC fighting style
is difficult to watch live
Whittaker discussed Page's latest win on the “MMArcade Podcast.”
“I’m going to be honest with you, no,” Whittaker said. “No, I
can’t, because I didn’t even want to watch it, and I have nothing
but respect for MVP.
His ability to do what he does at his age is
crazy. It’s like he’s dancing in there. He’s so fast and
fluid.”
“I reckon there isn’t a single person that can beat MVP over
point-sparring in the UFC. He’s so good at it,” Whittaker added. “I
feel like it’s almost like he has a live feed of the judges’
scorecards, like, in real time. As soon as it starts to drop, he
just does a little bit more and it goes back up. He just does
enough.”
“He could go out next fight, listen to our comments, and go out
there and just start throwing hands, get starched, cut, and that’s
it,” Whittaker said.
“He definitely is a puzzle for a lot of
fighters. He’s not fun to fight for anyone.”
