That's because when you're as good as MVP every fight is a mismatch.No one in the UFC is/was on such shameful mismatch crashing course

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.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
Came to say this. His career most closely matches Bobby Lashley.Bobby lashley springs to mind, without the entertainment factor
At only 13 fights he's building failrly enough. Plenty have been built longer.
There's plenty of examples. Thomas Almeida, Khabib, Barao, Teixeira, Jimmie Rivera, Miguel Torres. Just lots and lots.Who? Under what circumstances?

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.
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.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.

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

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.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
As long as his journey continues upward, I think his path has been acceptable.
