Who Is Michael ‘Venom’ Page’s Coach? Which Gym Does the UFC Star Train?

It’s often hard to make a name as a top MMA fighter if you’re not in the UFC. However, Michael ‘Venom’ Page proved otherwise as he made a name for himself for his flashy style of fighting in Bellator. Following his UFC advent, Page accumulated a 1-1 record so far, and now, he’s heading to Saudi Arabia to fight Sharaputdin Magomedov at UFC Fight Night 250.

While Michael ‘Venom’ Page’s career has been the main focus of MMA fans worldwide, not much is known about the people behind his success. Ahead of his big-time clash this weekend, let’s uncover the coaches who helped Page amass a 22-3 record. Without any further ado, let’s dive into it.

Who is Michael ‘Venom’ Page’s coach?

According to certain sources, Michael ‘Venom’ Page trains under the tutelage of coach Alexis Demetriades. But he’s not the only coach who trains the 22-3 star. Some of his other coaches in the gym include Marios Demetriades, who takes care of his boxing training, then we have Paul Ivens, who’s Page’s second head coach, and Simeon Kyurchiev, who specializes in Kyokushin karate, which explains why his karate-influenced fighting style.

However, Michael Page’s fighting style isn’t something that others would try to replicate. Even the Englishman understands that people who invest in him aren’t big fans of his unique style. “It’s weird [his fighting style] because my style carries some backlash. A lot of people are like, ‘Yeah, you look amazing,’ but they query how long I’m going to last,” Page stated in an interview with ESPN. “I think everyone is at that point with me. Sponsors say, ‘We like you and want to spend money on you, but we don’t know if you’ll last.”

But enough about Michael Page’s coaches and his fighting style because it’s time to see who the Englishman’s teammates are. Here’s what we know!

MVP’s gym and teammates

Michael ‘Venom’ Page trains at the popular London Shootfighters gym, which is based in the UK’s capital city of London. Since the 37-year-old is also a London-born athlete, he has preferred to train in his hometown throughout his career, and in a gym, that unfortunately, has no other UFC fighter.

Despite not having any UFC colleagues around, many reputed fighters competing outside the UFC are Page’s teammates. That list includes the likes of Karlos Vémola, who’s vastly experienced and a former UFC fighter, Przemysław Mysiala, who’s a veteran as well, and Marius Žaromskis, among many others.

Well, having no UFC fighters as teammates hasn’t really affected Michael Page in a negative way. While he’s been called out for fighting compete ‘tomato cans’ his entire life, he showed tremendous capability in his last fight at UFC 303, even though he lost. It remains to be seen if he can edge past Shara Magomedov this weekend. Let us know your predictions for the fight in the comments below.
