Chandler’s Perspective: Admiration Mixed with Skepticism

Chandler, who also transitioned from Bellator to UFC, holds respect for Page, both as an athlete and an individual.

Michael ‘Venom’ Page revealed the intense process behind his UFC signing. Enduring sleepless nights due to time differences and extensive negotiations, Page’s journey to the UFC was anything but smooth.
