“Dana messed up” – Free agent Michael ‘Venom’ Page facing off PFL superstar has UFC fans in worry

PFL Europe 4 went down this weekend in Dublin, Ireland. It featured the finals of the four divisions in the PFL Europe 2023 season. As such, many European stars were in attendance, including Cedric Doumbe and Michael Page. Later, the PFL fighter Doumbe entered the smart cage for an interview with the PFL presenter. He took the opportunity to call out the Bellator star ‘Venom.’

The duo shared a face-off inside the PFL cage, sending waves across the MMA world on social media. Michael Page was earlier expected to sign with the UFC as his name was seen on a slip-up footage in Dana White’s war room. He was paired up with Kevin Holland for the UFC 297 main card. Page and Doumbe shared a friendly and smiling face-off at the recent PFL event. This teased a potential matchup between them under PFL. As such, it would be unlikely that Dana White would sign Page.

Cedric Doumbe was a two-time Glory Kickboxing Champion who transitioned to MMA in 2021. After winning four fights in MMA, he signed with the PFL. This year, he debuted for PFL against Jordan Zebo in September. He impressed the fight fans with a 9-second knockout. Being a credited striker, his callout of Michael Page received a positive reception from the fight fans.

Michael Page was a flashy striker and a certified Bellator legend with a record of 21 wins and two losses. Nevertheless, he parted ways with Bellator this year and welcomed free agency. As such, the UFC expressed interest in signing him. However, Cedric Doumbe’s callout of him might result in ‘Venom’ fighting under PFL.
