“Probably beats him” - Michael Chandler makes surprising prediction for Kevin Holland vs Michael ‘Venom’ Page

UFC lightweight Michael Chandler weighed in on the promotion's newest signing from Bellator, Michael 'Venom' Page.

Chandler himself is a product of Bellator, having dominated its lightweight division and reigned as champion for three separate periods including a total of six title defenses.

'Iron' spoke to Steve-O on Steve-O's Wild Ride! about Page and his fighting style, expressing his dislike for it.

“Michael ‘Venom’ Page, I’ve got mixed feelings about him. I don’t like his style. I think it’s annoying. He just kind of moves around like that drunken warrior karate style. But he’s got some ridiculous knockouts. When I say ridiculous knockouts, the dude’s got some ridiculous spinning kicks and back elbows. He’s broken people’s faces and all kinds of (finishes). He’s a highlight-reel kind of guy.”

'Iron' also weighed in on Michael Page's debut fight scheduled against Kevin Holland at UFC 299. He backed the UFC welterweight veteran to trump 'MVP'.

“I think Kevin Holland is a horrible matchup for him. I think Kevin Holland probably beats him. But I like ‘MVP’ as a person. I think he’s a cool dude.”
