Robert Whittaker admits he ‘didn't even want to watch’ Michael Page

Robert Whittaker said Michael Page's latest performance is difficult to watch, underscoring debate over risk and style in elite MMA. Page earned a unanimous decision over Nursulton Ruziboev in a middleweight bout at UFC Paris, the final fight of his UFC contract. Speaking on the MMArcade Podcast, Whittaker noted Page was removed from the rankings and is set to enter free agency. He praised Page's speed and control, calling him one of the UFC's best point-fighters who "does enough" to stay ahead on judges' cards. Whittaker added he sometimes watches Page's bouts on replay rather than live, and described the Briton as a difficult, low-risk puzzle for opponents.
