\nUFC Paris<\/a>. Despite going 5-1 in the UFC, \u201cVenom\u201d failed to

Dave Feldman welcomes a potential Michael Page return after his
\nUFC run<\/h2>\n

Dave Feldman spoke about his interest in Page in an interview with
\nBloody Elbow<\/a>. The Bare Knuckle Fighting
\nChampionship president is still unsure about Page\u2019s status with the
\nUFC, so hasn\u2019t made a move yet, but is keen on the Englishman
\ncompeting in his promotion again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if his contract is actually terminated,\u201d Feldman
\nsaid. \u201cThat\u2019s a pretty fast time to get his contract terminated, so
\nI don\u2019t want to make any moves on him yet. We would definitely
\nwelcome MVP. When he fought for us with Mike Perry<\/a>,
\nit was a pretty exciting match, and a lot of people actually
\nthought he won that fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feldman further emphasized that the format of BKFC brought out a
\ndifferent version of Page.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t really be boring in BKFC, so it\u2019s hard for him to fight
\nthat type of fight in BKFC,\u201d Feldman added. \u201cWe would be
\ninterested? Yes. I think BKFC will force excitement out of MVP and
\nI think that the fans would love that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Page took on Mike Perry in BKFC in 2022, losing via majority
\ndecision in a close fight. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
