Before his move to the UFC, ‘Venom’ was busy knocking out people in the Bellator. However, he not only entertained fans with his fighting style, but also because of his walkout. While speaking to ‘Mighty Mouse’, the 37-year-old revealed that most of it were already planned before the fight. Demetrious Johnson has always been a fan of ‘MVP’ and his fighting, but always has been curious to know about his walkouts.
While interviewing him on his YouTube channel, Johnson asked, “Do you manifest that stuff? Like are you in the back and you’re warming up and you’re doing your pad work, you’re doing everything. And you’re like okay after I knock him out. This is what I’m going to do.” Page was quick to respond that most of his stuff is pre-planned and he even practices them beforehand. He said, “No no a lot of what I do is already premeditated like I already know like. This is why I have my gimmicks. My celebrations are already set. They’re ready. Cause I have already seen it.”
“I’ve seen it a hundred times, I’ve seen it a million times, and I have seen it play out,” the fighter concluded. After his first UFC victory, Page didn’t quite bring out any of his famous celebrations. However, he did impress one and all with his performance inside the Octagon. His debut victory has now earned him an opportunity to take on Ian Garry for an exciting clash.
