Michael Venom Page has been one of the biggest stars in Bellator for quite some time. However, considering that he was paid $100,000 for his last fight in Bellator against Goiti Yamauchi, it’s expected that “Venom” will earn an estimate of $150,000-200,000 in his fight against the “Trailblazer”.

As for Kevin Holland, He has always been one of the most active fighters in the UFC. The UFC has awarded Holland’s consistency inside the UFC octagon as he earns around $100,,000 to $150000 every time he gets inside the UFC octagon with his biggest fight purse being against Michael Chiesa as he earned $178,000.
The two fan favorites will probably earn around $150,000 for their fight at UFC 299, but it could be more given the gate for the event. The fight purse is harder to estimate for “MVP” given that he was a free agent before signing with the UFC. What the fans do know is how interesting the matchup would be. However, the “Trailblazer” seems to believe that he has the edge going into the fight.

Holland explained that he was a fan of Michael Venom Page and was glad to be the person to welcome the MMA star to the UFC. On what his plan was for his fight against Page, Holland stated, “I’ll hit him in his mouth, keep it simple, keep it sweet. Punch him in chops as many times as I can.”
