UFC London: Why did Michael ‘Venom’ Page decide to leave Bellator?

Michael ‘Venom’ Page's contract with the Bellator expired and during the last few months, the organization couldn't find a fight that made sense for all parties involved.

Despite the contract expiration, he does not entirely rule out a return to Bellator. In the meantime, he claimed that he plans to attend UFC London, showcasing his interest in the sport's premier organization.

Speaking on The MMA Hour, Page stated:

“I want to see where my value is at. I want to see my worth. It doesn’t mean the journey has stopped here. It just means I’m having another look.”
