Michael 'Venom' Page got the former soccer star, Patrice Evra, bursting out in laughter with his latest pirate-themed video. It showcased Page on a treasure hunt amidst the desert.
Page's last fight against Shara Magomedov at UFC Saudi Arabia stands as a testimony to the effectiveness of his unusual fighting style. Despite moving up to middleweight, the UK native maintained his back-and-forth hopping stance throughout the fight causing problems for Magomedov.
'Bullet' couldn't find many openings due to Page's unconventional style, while 'Venom' landed a plethora of heavy blows on his rival throughout to win via a unanimous decision.
The UFC had been promoting Magomedov with a pirate-themed skit due to one of his eyes being non-functional. However, Page declared himself the new captain of Magomedov's ship after defeating him at UFC Saudi Arabia.

"Whyyy 🤣🤣🤣"
