In the last twelve months or so, however, MVP has had a fair bit of difficulty in getting a fight booked. Whether it be people turning him down or him just not being offered bouts, the veteran hasn\u2019t been shy about making his feelings clear on this matter.<\/p>\n<p>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjpenn.com\/mma-news\/ufc\/dana-white-shares-honest-take-on-michael-pages-lackluster-ufc-london-win\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dana White shares honest take on Michael Page\u2019s lackluster UFC London win<\/a><\/p>\n<p>At UFC London, Page was able to secure yet another win on his UFC record, this time against former training partner Sam Patterson. While he did get the win, though, it wasn\u2019t exactly the most appealing fight for fans to watch, and that was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bjpenn.com\/mma-news\/ufc\/joe-rogan-questions-why-michael-page-vs-sam-patterson-was-booked-for-ufc-london\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">made clear in the aftermath<\/a> by many online.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent post on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DWNIaNeFqh0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a>, Page had the following to say about how it all played out.<\/p>\n<p>Page reflects on disappointing UFC London victory<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGot the win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot the performance I aim to give, and I know people expect more. I expect more from myself too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes styles clash and it becomes more tactical than explosive, but I\u2019m not here to be in boring fights. That\u2019s not who I am.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI respect the opportunity the UFC has given me to compete at the highest level, and I\u2019m here to prove that every time I step in there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAppreciate everyone who continues to support me. Respect to my opponent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBack to work. On to the next.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MVP has been pretty outspoken about his inability to get a fight booked, but he\u2019s still a professional. Hopefully, the next time we see him out there, it\u2019s against an elite level guy who he can really test himself against.<\/p>\n<p>What do you make of Michael \u2018Venom\u2019 Page\u2019s win and subsequent comments after the result?
