Michael Page responds to criticism following the end of his UFC
\nrun<\/h2>\n

Page went 5-1 across his six UFC appearances. However, he failed to
\nlive up to his pre-UFC reputation as a vicious knockout artist,
\ngoing the distance in all six Octagon outings. Moreover, most of
\nhis fights were lackluster and frequently booed.<\/p>\n

Rather than engaging directly with the criticism, Page offered a
\nplayful response on social media. The 39-year-old posted a photo of
\nhimself seemingly trying to push up a large rock with the
\ncaption:<\/p>\n

Page’s future remains uncertain, with Bare-Knuckle Boxing
\nChampionship president Dave Feldman expressing interest in bringing
\nhim back to bare-knuckle boxing and Jake Paul<\/a>\u2019s
\ncomments about signing the former Bellator<\/a>
\nstandout to
\nMost Valuable Promotions<\/a>.<\/p>\n
