Michael Page is one of the bigger stars in Bellator, yet he believes he would be bigger if he was white.

“I genuinely feel if I was a white fighter with the same talents, I would have more support and money,” Page said in an interview with Metro.

Although “Venom” says he hasn’t dealt with any racism from promoters, he just believes white athletes are promoted better and valued better.

“As an English fighter, it’s hard for me to get any promotion,” Page said. “As a black English fighter it’s even harder. Culture is part of politics and politics is part of sport.”

Page is currently 14-1 as a pro and coming off of a knockout loss to Douglas Lima at Bellator 221. Before that, he beat Paul Daley and David Rickels.

“There’d be more people and companies willing to invest in me if I wasn’t black,” Page said. “But again, I don’t see that as racist. Money talks and backing the white guy is more lucrative than the black fighter.”

Page is currently set to face off against Richard Kiely at Bellator 227 in the co-main event. The show takes place on September 27 from the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.

Things got fiesty during Michael Page and Richard Kiely’s Bellator Dublin staredown.

The two welterweights will collide on the Dublin main card on September 27. It will notably be Page’s first fight since suffering his first-ever professional defeat to Douglas Lima earlier this year.

Ahead of the fight, the two met for staredowns but Page showed little regard for his Irish opponent, instead, choosing to browse through his phone.

Kiely would decide to have fun with the moment by putting a thumbs up in front of Page’s face before standing in front of him. Page would pat him on his shoulder from behind which Kiely did not like as she swiped his hand away, leading to “MVP” shoving him. Security quickly came in between the two fighters afterwards.

You can watch the video below:

Kiely would take to Twitter shortly afterwards as he stated there would be no security when they step inside the cage:

Bellator Dublin takes place at the 3Arena and will be headlined by a bantamweight bout between James Gallagher and Cal Ellenor. Preceding the event is Bellator 227 which will be headlined by a lightweight bout between Benson Henderson and the debuting Myles Jury.

Are you excited for Page’s return?

Michael Page’s mixed martial arts (MMA) return is set.

A source has confirmed to LowKickMMA that “Venom” will be taking on Richard Kiely at Bellator Dublin from the 3 Arena in Ireland on September 27. The news was first reported by the Irish Mirror.

Page comes off the first loss of his professional MMA career. After starting off 14-0, he was knocked out by Douglas Lima at Bellator 221 back in May. The knockout came just 35 seconds into the second round of the fight, which was part of the Bellator Welterweight Grand Prix Tournament.

With the knockout loss, Page was eliminated from the tournament in the semi-finals. Now, he hopes to bounce back against Kiely. Kiely is just four fights into his professional MMA career. He started off with a record of 2-0 before being submitted by Alex Lohore in November of 2017.

Kiely then made his Bellator debut at Bellator 217 in February, defeating Mickael Bucher with a first-round TKO. Now, he hopes to pull off a major upset and hand page the second consecutive loss of his career.

Both Page and Kiely have been engaging in a war-of-words with one another as of late, so expect this one to have a bit of extra motivation behind it for both fighters.
