Michael Page has reacted after Paul Daley scored a KO in his retirement fight.<\/p>\n

Michael Page (20-1 MMA) and Paul Daley (39-15 MMA) took part in one of Bellator’s fiercest rivalries back in February 2019 at Bellator 216, with Page proving victorious with a unanimous decision win.<\/p>\n

The two fighters went on to take part in Bellator 281 in London, England on Friday, May 13th, 2022. It was Paul Daley vs. Wendell Giacomo (9-3 MMA), in what was to be Daley’s final fight and final win – a knockout victory over Giacomo (see that here<\/a>). Michael Page lost by split decision over Logan Storley (14-1 MMA) with the latter claiming the interim Bellator welterweight title.<\/p>\n

In speaking on ‘The MMA Hour’, Page has this to say about Paul Daley’s big moment and subsequent retirement (h\/t MMAFighting<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\u201cI still can\u2019t stand him as a person. It\u2019s hard when somebody\u2019s disrespected you so many times to turn around and (change course). Nah, I don\u2019t care that he\u2019s retired. I don\u2019t care to see him again in the sport. I don\u2019t respect anything he\u2019s done in his past. The only thing I can accept is he\u2019s a big knockout artist, and we saw it in his last fight.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBut outside of that, I\u2019m just not a fan.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Paul-Daley-Michael-Page\"<\/p>\n

Michael Page confirming while the two saw each other in London, has no interest in being friends saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t say anything at all. I wouldn\u2019t be rude (if he said hello to me) because I\u2019m a martial artist first. If he came up and said, \u2018Hello,\u2019 I\u2019d say hello and that\u2019s it. But he doesn\u2019t say anything to me, I don\u2019t say anything to him and I\u2019m happy that\u2019s the case.’<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really care (that I\u2019ll never fight him again). Hearing his name just irritates me. I don\u2019t care to relive anything. Nothing about that excited me in any way shape or form.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Michael Page is definitely not showing any love or respect for his former opponent Paul Daley. Whether Daley takes notice of Page’s comments or not, he’s going into retirement with a knockout win and appreciation for his time with Bellator and appreciation to all his fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
