Has Michael Paige found a loop hole?

Yeah.. I think he did. Honestly Im surprised barely anyone does it. If you could make a living off crushing cans wouldnt you?

The only reason he is not a draw is because he never fights. Put him there every 3 months and he will have a larger fan base... and a lot more haters which is good because they tune too.

BTW... he is fighting in boxing in less than 2 weeks. Opponent TBD I think but he should be around the 2-12 can he boxed last time.
 
Can anybody recall an individual doing what Michael Paige is doing?
He has no interest in fighting tough competition, however, he looks unbelievable crushing cans and mocking lesser talented fighters in the cage.

Basically putting on a show!!!

Buttomline: he is becoming a huge draw but hasnt done much
yes, he tricked you into spelling his name wrong. his loophole has also resulted in you creating dumbshit threads that have been covered 6 trillion times.
 
Since Daley is beefing with Bellator maybe have some in cage promo were Coker says if you stay I have two gifts for you, bring out MVP and Koscheck.

He can fight MVP (the lesser name) first, than regardless of result he can fight Koscheck next.
 
At only 13 fights he's building failrly enough. Plenty have been built longer.

As long as he takes bigger challenges in the next year it'll be good.

I think its quite apparent every fight moving forward will be against one of Bellator's better fighters in the division. Only time he is going to see easy comp is a late replacement injury or he goes on a losing streak.
 
Who? Under what circumstances?
There's plenty of examples. Thomas Almeida, Khabib, Barao, Teixeira, Jimmie Rivera, Miguel Torres. Just lots and lots.

Even Gegard Mousasi it took 15 fights to get to Gono, as Lombard was just a 7-1 newcomer at the time. After Gono it took 20+ fights before he got to Evangelista Santos, who's the opponent who got his skull cracked by MVP.

The circumstances for everyone is different, but a 13-0 start with MVP's competition is not really so terrible as long as he continues the journey up.

Great examples. You know what these examples show?
Records built on regional orgs, different ones.

Here comes Bellator. A serious organization in the highest level league of MMA.
League that is supposed to be a pinnacle of a sport.
And they do what regional organizations do - "building up" - or, in other words, blatantly and unnecessary padding up record to make it look better.
 
maybe not in north america, but Khalidov made a career in KSW off of looking spectacular against less than ideal competition.

Bellator is Bellator, there's no strict rules there. A.J. McKee has that organizations record for longest win streak (11 straight) and he's faced no one of note yet cause he's still being built.

That's what I say. Bellator's "entertainment" side >>>UFC's.
UFC is so much more about a sport than Bellator.

A.J. McKee currently has that organizations record for longest win streak (10 straight) and he's faced no one of note yet cause he's still being built.

In all fairness, AJ McKee has faced decent opposition - for him. He's green that fought other greens....

...until now. After beating Justin Lawrence he should move up in the competition.
Let's see how it goes.

MVP has 10 fights in Bellator with how many top wins?
Kabibs first fight in the UFC was Shalarus and Tibau his second..
Miguel Torres had +30 fights before entering WEC...
His second fight in WEC was Chase Bebe who was 11-1 at the time
IIRC at the time his 2 wins before losing to Miguel was Rani Yahya and Eddie Wineland...
Glover fought Rampage in his 3 UFC fight..

So no your examples are not very good, they are of guys fighting shit loads in smaller shows before entering the big orgs. When entering the big orgs they fought top competitions / solid competition with in very few fights.

Let's see how it goes.
MVP entered Bellator a 3-0 fighter and has graduated to tougher opposition all the same. Fernando Gonzalez and David Rickels have been steps up and competition.

No . After Nahshon Burrell he should've stepped up.
That did not happen. All the others, besides Gonzalez, just fed the streak.

Rickels was a huge step down. This man has failed as a WW. His accomplishments always were at LW

We'll agree to disagree. I think Page's slowly reached better talent, to the point that he almost lost just 2 fights ago. As long as his journey continues upward, I think his path has been acceptable.
