Michael Page’s move to middleweight paid off Saturday when he halted the undefeated streak of Shara Magomedov in the UFC Fight Night 250 co-main event.
In his return to the middleweight division after more than a decade, Page (23-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) produced one of the more meaningful wins of his career with a unanimous decision victory over Magomedov (15-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) in their clash at ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Check below for the top X (formerly Twitter) reactions to “MVP” beating “Shara Bullet” at UFC Fight Night 250.

More of the same from MVP. Fighting disciplined. Barely sweating because he’s playing his game and Shara isn’t forcing him to do anything else. #UFCSaudiArabia
