Michael Page recently uploaded a video on his YouTube channel from The K/O Show. There he addressed Colby Covington’s controversial moment where he insulted Leon Edwards’ dead father during the pre-fight press conference. 

I don’t like when people are talking about people’s dead fathers, people talking about people’s partners and girlfriends. We seem to have stepped away from where mixed martial arts, martial arts being the key phrase for me. I come from a traditional background. I get the hype, I get the ‘me and you going back and forth’, but leave everybody else out of it.
