Page beat Nursulton

\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> contract. Having built a
\nreputation as one of the most feared knockout artists in mixed

Michael Page wants to take more risks after beating Nursulton
\nRuziboev at UFC Paris<\/h2>\n

Page admitted during a post-fight interview at
\nUFC Paris<\/a> that feeling comfortable during a fight can sometimes
\nbe a bad sign because it means he hasn\u2019t pushed himself enough. He
\nbelieves he needs to take more chances rather than constantly
\nsearching for the perfect moment to land flashy strikes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe frustrating thing is I feel great, which sometimes means I
\nhaven’t done enough and the results show that I haven’t done
\nenough,\u201d Page said. \u201cProbably need to push myself a little bit
\nmore, take a few more risks. Sometimes I just want it to be too
\nclean, too, you know, too just precise. I just feel like I’m
\nholding back and I want to give more.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Bellator<\/a>
\nstandout wants to re-sign with the UFC and believes he has more to
\noffer the premier MMA organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fans deserve more, the UFC deserves more, I know I can give
\nmore and I feel like I’m almost there.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

\u201cI want to give more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael “Venom” Page (@Michaelpage247<\/a>)
\nwas happy to get the win but is seeking more thrilling results in
\nthe future. #UFCParis<\/a><\/p>\n
