Scott Coker was not happy with the judges decision in yesterday’s Bellator 281 main event between Michael Page and Logan Storley.<\/p>\n

Page (20-2 MMA) squared off with Storley (14-1 MMA) for the interim welterweight championship last night in London.<\/p>\n

The result was a split decision victory<\/a> for the American, who utilized his wrestling to control and smother the British standout for the majority of the fight. Although Storley was able to dictate most of the contest with his grappling, he produced very little offense aside from some knees to the thighs of ‘MVP’.<\/p>\n

\"Michael<\/p>\n

Given Logan Storley’s lack of offensive output, Bellator president Scott Coker believes Michael Page should have got the nod from the judges.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, I thought that \u2018MVP\u2019 won that fight,\u201d Coker said in his post-fight media scrum (h\/t MMAFighting<\/a>). \u201cAnd the reason why I say that, to me, it\u2019s like, I was talking to my guys back home and they go, \u2018Look, it\u2019s close but we think MVP won.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Well, why do you say that?\u2019 And they said, \u2018Because half the round, he was striking. The other half, you can\u2019t just lay on somebody.\u2019 You\u2019re not doing any damage. You\u2019re not getting closer to a submission. You\u2019re not creating any threat. You\u2019re just laying on somebody \u2014 and to me, that\u2019s not MMA.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scott Coker continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cControl is one thing, but you can\u2019t control somebody and just think that you\u2019re going to win the fight. To me, it\u2019s like, there\u2019s certain things that have to happen, and wrestling alone is not going to be enough. Listen, [Michael Page] knew he was fighting a world-class wrestler. And honestly, I think Logan has some improvement to do, because you can\u2019t just lay on somebody and think you\u2019re going to win and score points, because that\u2019s not MMA. That\u2019s wrestling.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
