It's pretty shocking that MVP was never in the UFC sooner honestly! I was a real casual MMA fan for years, but still knew of him before I knew of McGregor and other big British and Irish names - v excited to see if MVP can make waves in the big league tho
There's not only the ufc in the fight gsme to make money! Remember Francis got 500 grand to defend the title and Ryan Bader gotb1.5 million to defend his title one time thats 3 times more for a bellator champion to defend there titles Dana rips people off and if they don't understand that there slack
I think i remember him saying a few years back he wasn't interested in moving over from Bellator as he was happy there. Can't wait to see how he fares in the UFC and a tough first fight for sure.
😮😮😅
Was getting paid a lot by Bellator to smash cans. Recently they were giving him their top guys so he might as well hop over to UFC
@@REVOisMYname what?? Bellator didn't want him anymore he's lost to many times he's not a champ he's not a strong contender for the title haha so they let him go ready whst bellatoe put out there when mvp got axed lol
He got some of the some of best highlight knockouts in all of combat sports ,long overdue a ufc spot and well deserved 👏
Against Cans
hope leon can hold on to the belt for this english vs english champ would be insane
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN MATE THIS GUY IS BEING OVERHYPED HE IS ALREADY 36 YEARS OLD
@@West.Londonerhe will lose dude will not have a title fight
African vs African, May they do our continent proud!!!
@@IFAMILYIHpereira is also 36 and MVP still has his speed and hasn't taken much damage in his MMA career, but he probably shouldn't have bare knuckle boxed Mike Perry lol
@@IFAMILYIHNeed to turn cap lock off…
He seems like a good guy. I hope he does well in the UFC. 💪
Too old...age and lack of wrestling/grappling is stacked against him ( pertaining to winning Gold) , but for some really fun fights....yea I hope he gets matched up well for some great fights for the fans.
@@seattleryan5721if MVP secures a dub from either Burns, Shavkat or Machado he gets an interim belt
@@808nzaro But yes, he does have a path....I am interested to see if he can stay on it and if it aligns for him.
Feed him to Shavkat! 😂
ferguson destroy him
I've know of MVP for a couple of years now but only through the limited BBC coverage, this is the first time I've seen him interviewed and I like him even more, he's very respectful and likable and is a great roll model. I hope he does well in UFC
I cannot wait to watch this unfold. Probably the most uniquely talented fighter I've seen to be fair. Good luck mate 🙏🏻🏴👍🏻
gets folded by the next best ufc fighter
Not hard in uk
@@PresidentDanaWhitehe's the ultimate can crusher.. he was winning the lima fight but made one mistake and his skinny little legs couldn't stop the sweep
He got destroyed in Bellator lol
@@Skipjjdumb comment much?
Know this man for most of my life, I worked with his father & family as well. I know he can win the title here
me too
Was his dad a wrongun as wrote about in papers?
If he wins a couple of fights he is definitely getting that title fight
🤣 why? was never been champ anywhere. Only can crashing
I’m not sure about definitely but after Shavkat there aren’t any standouts. His fighting style automatically makes him a draw and the ufc will probably try push him. Belal should get the next title fight but it seems Leon and Dana are trying to avoid that.
@@mjunaid309Leon will show belal what time it is Edward’s runs from no one
@@PresidentDanaWhitemcgregor beats him first round tko
@@mmafan8861you seriously pressed Enter on that statement 😂
Talent is everywhere, but the UFC still does the storytelling best. Can't wait to see what MVP brings to the table. He's been one of the most exciting individuals for tiiiime. I hope they make the most of this opportunity. Let's go! ✨️
yeah exactly. guy is WAY past his prime
Guy could barely get the belt at bellator in his prime never mind in the ufc. He gets smoked by Leon.
a bit on the older side tho..
@@JimmothyGibbons @user-fx5cd4px3k yeaaaaa, but styles make fights. Give him exciting matchps. Sounds like good craic!
@user-fx5cd4px3k maybe... 36? It's now or never? He has some years on wonder boy. Side note - would be nice to matchup Wonder Boy with some strikers, let him go out with a bang.
Should have been signed 10 years ago.. Would have been a huge PPV star.. No dought... 😢
Doubt
dout
@@jogoonerz
or maybe he just lost his doughnut
@@jogoonerz
he wasnt good enough then
busy with can crushing in bellator
MVP about to take the Alex Pereira route.
🤷🏿♂️
Im here for it. Id love to see him v leon if he gets the fast track
Greet interview, cant wait for this one
MVP is the man, big fan of his work in Bellator, pretty exciting fighter, happy he signed with the UFC :)
I really hope he does well in UFC! Deserves to be there
Michael “Venom” Page is a true artist and the ring is his canvas. Much respect from Micronesia 🇫🇲
He’s a great personality but everytime I’ve seen him fight against decent comp in bellator he struggled really hard so I’d be super surprised if he even cracks top 10 especially in welterweight.
1st fight he will be in top 10 after he kos holland
@@user-hm1jw7dd4f holland fought so many beasts and is yet to get dropped. Not sure if can crusher mvp will even make him wince.
@@user-hm1jw7dd4fwell considering Holland didn’t get KOd from Wonderboy abusing him for 4 rounds along with the fact he broke his hand, I think he’ll be fine
Ye he's got great technique and timing but most of his opponents haven't been on his level so looked better than he actually is also not got the grit to go with the skill .I will be surprised if he cements himself in the top 10 especially anyone with decent grappling
@@ianscott1317yeah fact I wouldn't be surprised if mvp is one and done here in the ufc.
Thank god really like mvp followed him for years glad to c him ufc xx
I'm just so glad he getting to the UFC and he should of been there along time ago I've been a big fan of his for a very long time and he's going to light his division up for sure he's just so creative
Great interview Adam,can’t wait forMVP UFC debut!
Excited to see MVP finally in the UFC, it has been a long time coming. I can't help but feel he should have done it like 5 years ago though. Interested to see if he has the same success in the UFC, looking at his record he has fought trash cans apart from Daley and Lima.
Kevin is going to show this man Levels
Thanks for the video, TNT SPORTS
I've been waiting for this for years 🎉
Really good. Super excited about this new signing they made. Always been a fan tbh. Excellent
Great interview
This is why UFC is the place to be. I’ve known about MVP for years but not really known much on a deeper level. Instantly MVP brand goes up 🔝
Been a LONG time coming
If Leon can keep hold of the belt. That fight would be massive for the UK
I can’t see him losing it to be fair
@@isaacpepper5224 Makachev?
no chance he's fighting at WW anytime soon he hasn't defended against a lightweight yet🤣But still I think Leon beats him regardless@@fuzzywuzzy0549
I've been waiting for this moment for years.
Man I can't wait to see some of these fights 💪👊💯
I love MVP, he is a very exciting and confident fighter but seems like a fairly humble person. Looking forward to seeing him fight again!
He will be a UFC champion.
MVP is the man, exciting fights to come
Mvp is humble,very humble guy
😊🎉 So happy MVP is now UFC fighter and I get to see him represent UK. I ❤ our current Champs Leon and Tom it’s nice to add to the home team. X
Tom is number 1 contender not champ.. put some respect on JJ name
MVP is a beast. Can’t wait to see him in the ufc
MVP is honestly huge for 170. Dudes 6'3
MVP is a super exciting addition to the UFC roster 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Been waiting for this for years
THIS GUY IS BEING OVERHYPED HE IS ALREADY 36 YEARS OLD
Its hard to say how he will fair at the elite level of MMA, but what a humble well spoken guy... Holland is a perfect first fight too for him too.
Good luck Man.
Esau is always shocked when a well spoken hebrew talks a language that's not even ours 2 begin with smh 😂🤣😂🕎🙏🏾
He will make for some interesting fights.
However, the only way he gets to the title is if they fast track him and avoid all the grapplers.
His grappling is slept on
@@infamoushealerdcuo3842doulas Lima outgrappled him comfortably.
As true as your comment is, I'd like to think a pro fighter will have been improving the weaker parts of his game
Pereira had it easy so why not
Truest comment.
From being a Can crusher to walking around in place filled with landmines.
Let's go MVP
Always liked his style and seems like he’s matured 👍 good luck to him he can do well
MVP vs Wonderboy would be sick lol
Kevin holland is a perfect measurement fight to see where he can go!! Cant wait for 299
Matching MVP up with Holland is a banger! So excited to see how that plays out. I have a hard time seeing Holland lose. Both guys wanna stand and strike so im sure it will be a great fight to watch
Holland gotta stay on the gas for the win with pressure because MVP will do him worse than Wonderboy if he sits back like he did
I feel the fight will be a banger though wish it was 5 rounds
Ye it's an intriguing match up .very similar styles I favour Holland but if mvp gets the win then he could be a problem for any of the strikers but I don't see him challenging at the top with his lack of grappling and ground game .he likes to control the distance and fight at a certain pace and there are fighters that just won't allow that but good luck to him ,he's exciting to watch for sure
I’m so excited for his UFC debut, long overdue
Let's goooooo!!!
so pumped for mvp in the ufc
Interviewer is class.
very well spoken, carries himself well
MVP in the UFC, hopefully a future Champ 🏆
big up MVP comes off a proper dude, respect.
I've been a die hard ufc fan for probably 6+ years at this point. Can someone explain why I heard of Michael Venom Page before I was even an mma fan? I was huge into wwf and wwe growing up. This dudes like iconic in my mind and I don't even know why.
Because he threw a pokeball at his opponent.
@sayville_silver 😂 that's not ringing any bells but that's hilarious
Search chilked adonis's video called Michael venom page most disrespectful mma fighter lol.
Because he is arguably one of the most entertaining fighters to ever do MMA. Simple.
@vvsvellaire1455 probably the most reasonable explanation. I've always respected mma and watched, but wasn't an actual fan. I probably watched something years ago regarding him. Maybe Rogan? Idk
Can't wait to see MVP in the UFC.
Class act
Michael versus Leon would be a crazy fight !
MVP vs wonderboy is what I’m hoping for in the future that fight is a must two clas strikers
Good interviewer
it has to be done 3-4 years ago. Now its to late
Let's fkn Gooo🔥
Hope they add him to ufc 5
I’ve waited for this moment 😃 MVP is finally in the UFC, really looking forward to his debut against Holland it’s gonna be a banger 💯🔥
I feel like MVP should go for the MW title just so the British have 3 belts. But it's about time he go here
He’d get slept first fight🤣
Eventually!! ITS TIME!! 👊🔥👊
Going to come to the UFC as Cannon Fodder
He's FINALLY in the UFC, so glad its happened.
This is gonna be very interesting to see.
THE GOAT! 🇬🇧🐍
So so overdue. Hope he does well and we see the Leon fight. Would be great.
I kind of wish he would have been given some easy early fights like when paddy joined , so we could see him really show of his skills , but Kevin holland is a really exciting stand up fight 🔥🔥
Kevin Holland will submit him.
hes had those in bellator though actually those were most of his fights in bellator
He wanted this fight
@@someguy7474 Yeah I know and yet so many people haven't seen them if he knocked out some one in the UFC with one of those crazy KO's he got in early Bellator , he would become a star real quick
Why? So that way everyone can say he's a can crusher?....nah, he's had enough warm ups with bellator. Time to see where he's at
MVP!!! I thought it was lies Yess
'’My ego says I can beat anyone in there’’ Well Belal would beg to differ
I really hope to see the rocky matchup
I'm 💯using the "teach in order to progress" method with my students.🙏
We’re overdue for MVP!
One of the coolest things about this is that MVP will be a playable fighter in an EA game!
Superstar in the cage and humble AF outside of it. MVP a real one 💯
They better make Wonderboy vs MVP in the near future!!! We need that fight
Damn, MVP and Kevin are some of my favourite fighters. Not sure who to support
Started following the sport in general around the time he dented Male Cyborgs skull.
Looking forward to his UFC run 👍🙏
Huge respect to MVP but I hope he’s prepared for the huge step up in competition
Seeing MVP finally join the UFC is amazing! Another Brit to add to the already amazing guys flying the flag 🇬🇧
Another African, jussknow!
@@etiennebunbury1285right, only a “Brit” when it suits them
MVP is from Trinidad/Jamaica. Leon is Jamaican. Toms mom is from Poland. Tom also speaks fluently polish and was seen wearing the polish flag. Paddy is real British.
@@germanboy14 so?
@@RoTelnCheeseit’s nothing to do with their heritage it’s because of how they been seen by the rest of the country / treated by the media & government
He’s too chinny and won’t get past the elite grapplers. Careful matchmaking and he could do it…. But the ufc truly is the lions den, being thrown to the wolves so to speak. He will learn this, a lot of these killers at 170 will want his scalp
If they give him Holland and Thompson and he won both, they might just give him a title shot off it.
Or at least he'd be one top 5 win away.
@@luckyspurs I do think he will beat Holland… although it’s not a sure bet at all and wouldn’t suprise me if Holland won. I honestly think there’s about 7 or 8 welterweights I’d pick to beat MVP. If usman and khamzat move back down they both absolutely crucify him
@@alexb292 mvp can absolutely starch usman, especially if he comes in prepared for the wrestling.
I cant wait to see this man fight in the ufc!!! About time but i worry about the miles and age being a factor! But anyways im here for his journey and hope he can pull off a A.Silva run...😂
Love MVP
Imagine wonderboy vs MVP….dream fight
MVP vs Daniel Raymond 💯 dream fight 🤜🤛
I always wanted to see this guy fight izzy
🔥
Lima showed the blueprint. The wrestlers are going to prove if he belongs. I don't see him getting past Bo Nickal, Khamzat or Shavkat though
khamzat will never make 170 ever again.
Nickal is 185 too
Got MVP now that wonder boy is on the way out smart move
MVP is must-see-TV, sign me up.
Took too long. At 36, to compete at UFC level with younger fighters, I'm sceptical. But I hope I'm wrong, he is definitely a talented kickboxer and hoping he brings entertaining fights to the UFC.
MVP MVP MVP!!!! 🏴 chants coming to the UFC very soon…
He’ll get owned in the UFC, especially since he’s not in his prime.
Man. I like MVP.... i want him to succeed. But i like Holland too. Lol. May the best man win. I agree though, if he could get a couple big wins and Leon still has the belt that would be a CRAZY fight to have in the UK. British fans would lose their mind.
That would be a great matchup if it ever happens.
I hope the UFC just gives him striking fights after the Holland one until he has to fight a wrestler eventually. More chances for him to do crazy knockouts and gain more fans in the mean time. The UFC sometimes tries to act like they don't try to control a pathway, but they do it all the time, so I know they can do it for MVP.
