Michael Page, aka MVP, has welcomed recent praise from UFC commentator Joe Rogan ahead of UFC 319.

For the longest time, Michael ‘Venom’ Page has been one of the most intriguing mixed martial artists in the world. While some have questioned just how good he really is, MVP has been able to capture the imagination of the masses throughout the course of his career. Now, he’s enjoying a run in the UFC, and he’s set to continue his middleweight campaign when he battles Jared Cannonier this weekend.

While it’s set to be a tough fight for Page, many believe he can get the job done – and if he does, he could vault himself into title contention at 185 pounds. Of course, he would seemingly prefer to be back down at welterweight, but it’d still be a huge accomplishment, especially given his age.
After receiving some great praise from Joe Rogan recently, Page reacted positively when asked about it during his media commitments this week.
