Kevin
Holland would prefer Michael
Page on the Ultimate Fighting Championship roster but admits
that he can’t really blame “Venom” if he signs with the
Professional Fighters League.

The Bellator veteran has generated his fair share of attention
since announcing his free agency in July. Page was subsequently
spotted at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi in October, with Dana White
confirming
mutual interest between the fighter and promotion. However,
Page
didn’t close the door on potentially signing with the PFL,
either.
Most recenlty, “MVP” was seen in attendance at PFL Europe 4 at the
3Arena in Dublin on Friday. The 36-year-old squared
off with French star Cedric
Doumbe, leading to speculation of a potential deal in the
works.
According to Holland, Page would be choosing money over legacy if
he signs with the PFL instead of the UFC. However, “Trailblazer”
admits that he can’t exactly blame Page for prioritizing money
considering the name of the game is “prizefighting.”
“If Michael ‘Venom’ Page signs with the PFL, that’s a money move
not a legacy move,” Holland said on social media. “And it’s kind of
hard to get mad at him. But as a fight fan, you definitely want to
see the bangers over here in the UFC versus the quick highlights
and money grabs over there at PFL. Props to the guy for caring more
about his chin and his f—ing pockets than his legacy.”
