post-fight press conference<\/a>, White was asked for his thoughts on \u201cMVP\u2019s\u201d showing and the negative fan reaction.<\/p>\n\u201cI mean, I didn\u2019t think it was a great fight either,\u201d White said. \u201cIt was a bad fight. I don\u2019t know. He won, so we\u2019ll see what\u2019s next.\u201d<\/p>\n
Page has extended his winning streak to three, but there\u2019s no telling how he will be booked following the Patterson fight. After the bout, Page expressed frustration with how things played out while he was being filmed backstage.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s frustrating,\u201d Page admitted. \u201cIt\u2019s not the kind of win I wanted. It\u2019s getting more and more difficult when it\u2019s like nobody wants to engage. Everyone\u2019s on the back foot. I feel like it\u2019s exactly more difficult to fight someone who doesn\u2019t want to fight than fight someone difficult that wants to fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Page is known for having highlight reel finishes, but one fan criticism is that if he doesn\u2019t get those flashy knockouts, his fights ended up failing to live up to expectations. Whether or not the UFC matchmakers will give Page someone who is more likely to engage with him on the feet remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
