The victory against Shara Magomedov in the co-main event of UFC Saudi Arabia brought an unusual situation to Michael Page. A natural welterweight (up to 77,1 kg), the Englishman achieved a triumph against an undefeated opponent ranked in the higher category. Despite having announced before the fight his intention to return to his natural weight, some people have thought differently, such as his namesake and compatriot, Michael Bisping.

The former UFC middleweight champion (up to 83,9 kg) and current commentator for the company expressed his opinion about 'MVP' in a video published on his YouTube channel.
“MVP, I would like to see him stay at 84 pounds — but he told us on the post-fight show that he wants to go back to 77 pounds. He wants that belt. He feels like he still has work to do, and I question that,” he said.

Still addressing the technical issue behind his opinion, Bisping cited grappling, Page's known Achilles heel.
“There are many wrestlers weighing 77kg. Of course, you have Belal Muhammad |, Shavkat Rakhmonov which is to think that they would definitely do wrestling with the MVP if they fought him. There is Kamaru Usman and many, many others.”
