    “#1 Bad Fight” – Michael Page Wins Snoozefest with Sam Patterson

    Michael “Venom” Page made a statement with his walkout song choice, but his UFC London fight with Sam Patterson ended up being more like a lullaby.

    In a bout that received plenty of boos and criticism on social media from fight fans and pundits, MVP scored a decision win over Patterson.

    A tactical approach to round one saw Patterson get off to a better start, landing the few punches that were thrown during the frame. Page responded in the second round with pressure, landing countershots and tying up Patterson in the clinch.

    Page’s striking (whatever was thrown) and control in the third round helped him win the fight.

    Just 39 strikes were landed in the bout, with 27 of them coming from MVP.

    “Get This Man A Ranked Opponent” – Fans & Fighters React To Sam Patterson Starching Trey Waters At UFC Paris For Fourth Straight First-Round Finish

    Sam Patterson is on a roll in the Octagon, putting away Trey Waters during the preliminary card of UFC Paris to score his fourth consecutive Octagon victory via a first-round finish.

    The two fought conservatively to start off the fight, focusing on single shots as each tried to build his momentum. Waters seemed to be getting the better of the pair early, becoming the aggressor early.

    Patterson started to find success with the right hand, however, snapping Waters’ head back a few times. He turned up the heat, landing several right hooks that did damage, hurting Waters. The referee would step in with both men still on their feet, the right hands of Patterson proving to be too much for Waters to handle.

    Waters, the former LFA welterweight champion, loses for the second time in his career, having lost to Gabriel Bonfim on DWCS in 2022. Waters was 2-0 in the UFC entering tonight, scoring decisions over Josh Quinlan and Billy Ray Goff.
