Dana White’s ‘off-camera’ personality REVEALED by UFC’s new ‘MVP’ signing after stunning deal

Michael Page, often known as “MVP,” has revealed details about his first formal meeting with UFC President Dana White. He revealed the light on the UFC CEO’s off-screen presence. Page, who just signed a contract with the UFC is set to make his professional debut on March 9, 2024. He spoke about his unexpected and pleasant experience on The MMA Hour hosted by Ariel Helwani.

Michael Page said he reminded him of himself.  He believes that he’s a showman and when the cameras come on, he transforms into this character. Page, thinking he would meet that same guy was surprised when he discovered a more peaceful, easygoing, and kind side of Dana White.

I feel like similar to myself, he is a showman. When the cameras come on, he turns into this guy, and meeting him I was expecting to still see that guy... He was so calm, so relaxed, so nice, so friendly. Kind of opposite from what I've been seeing on camera for many years. So, it was very, very nice.

Michael ‘Venom’ Page advocates punishment for out-of-line trash talk

Michael “Venom” Page, the British welterweight will make his UFC debut against Kevin Holland on March 9, 2024. He has spoken out against the recent uptick in crude trash language and misbehavior in the combat sports industry. Page is anxious to establish himself in the UFC but is unhappy with the new trend of disrespectful trash talk.

He criticized personal attacks on fighters’ families and loved ones, emphasizing the importance of returning to martial arts values.

The British fighter proposed a possible solution to the recent incidents of aggressive conduct in combat sports. His idea is to impose penalties on perpetrators. Page emphasized the significance of respect and camaraderie in combat sports, urging banter and jokes to stay friendly rather than devolving into personal attacks.
