Underwhelming Michael Page Win at UFC London Sparks Backlash
Michael “Venom” Page narrowly defeated Sam Patterson at UFC London, but fans and commentators called the three-round bout one of the most disappointing of 2026. The fight produced minimal action and left spectators questioning the matchmaking. On his Fight Companion podcast, Joe Rogan blamed UFC matchmakers for pairing two familiar training partners. He argued that knowing each other’s styles made the contest “crazy bad” and one of the least entertaining fights ever. Even UFC President Dana White admitted the fight fell flat. Backstage, Page said it was “frustrating” when opponents refuse to engage. He now faces uncertainty over future matchups that can bring back his highlight-reel reputation.
