The Englishman was born and raised in a household of martial artists as he grew up with parents who were martial artists. His mother stated that “[Michael Page] didn’t really have much choice to start with” as it was revealed that his mother used to take Page along with her in a stroller to martial arts classes before he was even a year old. Given his involvement with martial arts from a very young age, it’s not surprising to see “MVP” make a career out of it. Martial Arts also seemed to have helped him in some other aspects of his life.
During the UFC 299 countdown, Michael Page revealed his experience moving to a dangerous part of town, saying, “I moved to the area known as Little Mexico because at one point I’d like to have the most amount of cocaine in the UK. But they all found out I did kickboxing and one thing everybody respects on the street is fighting.”
