SALT LAKE CITY – Add Michel Pereira to the list UFC fighters who are interested in a potential fight against Michael Page.
“Demolidor,” who returns this Saturday against Stephen Thompson at UFC 291, was asked at Wednesday’s media day if a fight against Page, who’s now a free agent after fighting out his Bellator contract, would catch his eye. Pereira seems up for the potential matchup, and he doesn’t think he’s alone in wanting to welcome Page to the promotion.
“It is a fight to think about,” Pereira told reporters. “I would be very happy to fight against him, if the UFC gives me something if I beat him, like someone in the rankings, a certain spot in the rankings. Plus, that’s also a fight everyone would love to watch.
