Miesha Tate tells MVP “just stay in your lane”

Miesha Tate gives Bellator welterweight Michael ‘Venom’ Page a harsh reality check on his hopes of a move to the UFC.

Speaking earlier this week on Michael Bisping’s ”Believe You Me” podcast, Michael Page said he wants to test himself in the ranks of the UFC at some point in his career. However, Page is often met with hostility when it comes to the calibre of his opponents with fans keen to criticise the #2 ranked Bellator fighters record. Whilst many would put this down to a ”troll” mentality on social media it seems its not just the fans calling Page’s resume into question.

Speaking with MMA on Sirius XM, Miesha Tate gives her brutally honest opinion on whether a move to the UFC would be a good thing and also on his chances of success in the worlds leading organisation.

“I don’t know if he has much choice in picking his opponents right now. I mean, let’s give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he does want to continue to fight better guys but clearly, he has lost to those better guys, so you kinda wonder…you know, sometimes it’s kinda like, if you’re smart, bro, you just stay in your lane because you’re gonna make probably more money in Bellator because you’ll get your win purse and just be a little bit more realistic.” She then continued:

“But here I say that, but I don’t always think that that’s something that we get with fighters. A lot of times, fighters want to dream outside the box, and sometimes it just doesn’t work very well that way. This seems like one of those situations where definitely the best option for him is to stay in Bellator, win the fights that he can win, put on those dazzling performances, because he’s not gonna get that in the UFC. I doubt he’ll be able to put on those performances because there’s levels. And he’s just not on that level.”
