Michael Page thinks Leon Edwards will keep his place as UFC welterweight champion for the foreseeable future, and it’s his goal to eventually secure a title bout with his fellow Brit.
The all-time Bellator knockout record-holder Page (21-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is set to make his octagon debut on March 9 when he meets Kevin Holland at UFC 299, which takes place at Kaseya Center in Miami with a main card on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews and ESPN+. It’s a chance for “Venom” to make a big splash in his new promotion, and the talent-stacked 170-pound division currently led by Edwards (21-3 MMA, 13-2 UFC).
Although Page is aware he has work to do, starting with Holland, he can’t ignore the potentially historic opportunity to set up a UFC title clash with Edwards, which would be the first of its kind featuring two U.K.-based athletes.
