Kevin Holland: Michael Page Choosing PFL Over UFC Would Be a ‘Money Move’

Kevin Holland would prefer Michael Page on the Ultimate Fighting Championship roster but admits that he can’t really blame “Venom” if he signs with the Professional Fighters League.

The Bellator veteran has generated his fair share of attention since announcing his free agency in July. Page was subsequently spotted at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi in October, with Dana White confirming mutual interest between the fighter and promotion. However, Page didn't close the door on potentially signing with the PFL, either.

Most recenlty, “MVP” was seen in attendance at PFL Europe 4 at the 3Arena in Dublin on Friday. The 36-year-old squared off with French star Cedric Doumbe, leading to speculation of a potential deal in the works.

According to Holland, Page would be choosing money over legacy if he signs with the PFL instead of the UFC. However, “Trailblazer” admits that he can’t exactly blame Page for prioritizing money considering the name of the game is “prizefighting.”

“If Michael ‘Venom’ Page signs with the PFL, that’s a money move not a legacy move,” Holland said on social media. “And it’s kind of hard to get mad at him. But as a fight fan, you definitely want to see the bangers over here in the UFC versus the quick highlights and money grabs over there at PFL. Props to the guy for caring more about his chin and his f—ing pockets than his legacy.”
