Michael Page is going to have fun inside the cage, even when standing across from a "Killa Gorilla."
On the main card of UFC 319, Page took on Jared Cannonier in a three-round middleweight bout. Fresh off a win over Shara Magomedov, Page aimed to keep the momentum going by getting past a former title challenger in Cannonier.
Page's showmanship was on display early on. He dribbled an invisible basketball before dropping Cannonier, and had a few more gestures to offer after his opponent got back to his feet. The same thing occurred in the second round as well, with more emotes after Page dropped Cannonier. The final round didn't go as smooth for "MVP," but it was a big feather in the flashy striker's cap to pick up a unanimous decision win.
