Michael Page was nonchalant when asked about Dana White leaving during his fight at UFC Fight Night 270.
Page (25-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) drew boos from the crowd when he outpointed Sam Patterson (14-3-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) in a unanimous decision win Saturday at The O2 in London. “MVP” was pretty vocal about his discontent with the UFC’s decision to matchmake him against Patterson, who’s a relatively unknown welterweight on the rise.

Now Page had the UFC CEO exit his seat during his fight.
“No, not really,” Page said during the UFC London post-fight news conference. “Again, it’s just, when you’re a man in those positions, you need to remember that everything that you do has a big effect, you create bigger waves with what you do and what you say. So, you just need to be mindful of these things, but he’s known to be his own man. He does what he does, but for me, it’s just go out and perform as best as I can, and next time make him sit in his seat.”
White was critical of Page’s performance during the UFC Fight Night 270 post-fight news conference.
“I didn’t think it was a great fight either,” White said. “It was a bad fight. I don’t know. He won, so we’ll see what’s next.”
