Rising welterweight standout Ian Garry has no interest in fighting Michael ‘Venom’ Page.
After spending a decade dominating the competition under the Bellator MMA banner, Page made his Octagon debut at UFC 299 and immediately thrust himself into the division’s top 15 with a decisive decision victory over Kevin Holland. Following the win, ‘Venom’ appeared on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani and declared that a fight against ‘The Future’ was on his radar.
Unfortunately, Ian Garry doesn’t feel the same way.
“No. His number is not higher than mine,” Garry told Sky Sports. “I want to be the best in the world, and unless your number is higher than mine, I’m not interested. Unless he passes me in the division somehow and his number is higher than mine, (I have) zero interest.”
Though he has no interest in fighting MVP at the moment, Garry was admittedly happy to see Page punch “the mouth off” Holland. A surprising statement considering that Garry said there was “no f*cking way” that ‘Venom’ would defeat Holland ahead of their clash in Miami.
“I’m glad he punched the mouth off Kevin Holland. That guy talks a lot of smack, as well,” Garry added. “That just proves he’s not good enough to be in the top 10. I’ll admit that I said I don’t think he beats him, but he surprised me. Well done. Kevin Holland looked terrible.”
Ian Garry is a perfect 14-0 in his mixed martial arts career, his last seven victories coming under the UFC banner. Garry’s latest appearance came at UFC 298 where he earned a split decision against Geoff Neal, moving himself to the No. 7 spot in the welterweight rankings — six spots ahead of Michael ‘Venom’ Page.

Former UFC interim welterweight champion Colby Covington wasn’t impressed with Michael Page’s performance against Kevin Holland.
Page made his UFC debut at UFC 299 last weekend and picked up a decision win over Kevin Holland. The longtime Bellator veteran was able to frustrate Holland with his striking style and edged out the decision win.
Although Michael Page did beat a top-15 opponent in his UFC debut, Colby Covington wasn’t impressed with it at all and thinks ‘MVP’ sucks.
“The guy’s trash,” Covington told Submission Radio. “He’s a bum. I mean, look at his last fight before that. He got beat by a guy that fights in Indian casinos. He got beat by Mike Perry. We saw how the Mike Perry experience ended up in the UFC – guy getting his nose crooked, smashed and knocked out like three or four times in a row. It just shows: The kid’s just hyped. They’re trying to hype him up.
“They’re giving him a guy in Kevin Holland who’s a complete scrub – I mean, 50/50 fighter at best in the division. And that’s all you could do? Just that pathetic fight and that pathetic walkout? Like, that wasn’t entertaining, man. It doesn’t work. It only works when you’re good and you’re at the top of the division, not when you’re fighting scrubs that shouldn’t even be fighting in the UFC in the first place. So I didn’t make anything of it. I just saw another easy money paycheck if the UFC ever wants to give me that in the future,” Covington added.
Although Colby Covington wasn’t impressed with Michael Page’s UFC debut, the Brit did beat a ranked welterweight and will get another big fight next time out.
Colby Covington also responded to Ian Machado Garry’s callout on Wednesday and he expressed interest in the matchup.
Garry called out Covington following his UFC 298 win and many fans were interested in the matchup. Chaos’ took his time to respond but did show interest in fighting the Irishman as the co-main event to the potential Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler card.
Covington is coming off a decision loss to Leon Edwards back in December for the welterweight title. Before that, he beat Jorge Masvidal by decision to return to the win column after loisng to Kamaru Usman for the belt.
Who wins in a future fight: Colby Covington or Michael Venom Page?

UFC welterweight Michael Venom Page envisions a ‘boring’ fight against Stephen Thompson should the pair meet in the future.
Page enjoyed a successful UFC debut last Saturday, convincingly outstriking Kevin Holland over three rounds. Holland refused to stay down despite being stunned throughout the contest after being on the receiving end of some flashy, but vicious strikes from Page.
Throughout his time in MMA Page has always been a showman, using his karate stance the 36-year-old often likes to throw big shots from the outside, leaping in with jumping knees and other explosive strikes. Page now finds himself in a great to position to push for some big fights at 170lbs given his recent performance and relative name value.
Fans have called for Page to step in with fellow striker Stephen Thompson, who is similarly ranked and shares a similar style. However, Page explained that because of their similarity, it would equate to a boring fight.
“It’s weird because obviously, I’ve been hearing for years before I even got to the UFC and I always tell people the same thing, two positives don’t always make a positive” Michael Venom Page said during an interview with Sportsnet after UFC 299.
“What will be a great fight for me and Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson, will look like a terrible fight for everyone else because we’ll go back into auto-pilot of our point-scoring system and there’s a lot of battles that happen without anything really happening.” Page added.
“As soon as I’m about to throw that punch, I can sense that he’s got that counter ready and I might break away,”Page continued. “So, there’s going to be a lot of not much happening in my opinion. I could also be wrong and it could be an amazing fight but from my experience fighting high-level points fighters, it slows everything down.”
Who do you think Michael Venom Page should face next?
