“Actually — I just forgot his first name [Shara] which is terrible — Magomedov,” Michael ‘Venom’ Page said. “He just fought and did the double spanning-back knuckle knockout. Then he called out my boy, Izzy (Israel Adesanya), Mate, I’m at that weight right now, you don’t even have to wait that long.”

“That one [fight] there, I’ll just take that straight away just for the fun of it,” Michael ‘Venom’ Page continued. “That’s what I’m weighing at [185 pounds] — that’s what I’m grappling at right now. So, I’m in shape now ready to go now. That’s a good fight for me. I think — just a nice stand-up fight for everybody, just to come back to the game. And like I said, leave my boy, Izzy alone. He’s trying to get back to the throne. I’ll take his place.”
