New Ultimate signing, Michael Page surprised by making public criticisms of the organization days before its debut with the company. Former Bellator star, the Englishman questioned the quality of the company's official gloves. The debut of the welterweight (up to 77,1kg.) takes place at UFC 299, next Saturday (9).

“The equipment was perfect. It was incredible. The gloves, in all honesty, are not that good. I was disappointed. In terms of comparison, they're not nearly as comfortable (as the Bellator ones. It won't change anything. I'd fight in oven mitts and be fine. Remember, I fought without gloves not too long ago. So I give it a way,” declared Page, in an interview with 'Smack Talk with Sandhu'.
