The fight
With characteristic style, Page tried to impose his style of play, but saw Storley attack with a fall. The North American remained on top throughout the first round, although he was unable to progress in position.
In the second round, MVP felt more comfortable and changed bases frequently. The Englishman even managed to free himself from his opponent's takedown attempt on the first attempt. However, he did not remain standing when Logan gave another chance, who still had time to apply two elbows.
Storley, standing, seemed a little afraid of exchanging with Michael. Therefore, the North American remained stapled to the fence. Page, however, managed to open up a good margin in his striking and was barely touched during the assault.
On an unorthodox basis, the Englishman managed to land good kicks and unique strikes while standing. He also did a good job of staying on his feet, but he saw Storley adopt a wrestling strategy in the last round, where he remained until the end of the round.
