Jared Cannonier vs. Michael Page UFC 319 preview
Cannonier (18-8 MMA, 11-8 UFC) returned to the win column in his last outing with a fourth-round main event finish of Gregory Rodrigues in February. The result halted a two-fight skid against Nassourdine Imavov and Caio Borralho. Before those setbacks, the former title challenger won back-to-back decisions against Sean Strickland and Marvin Vettori. … Page (23-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC) picked up his second UFC win in February, earning a unanimous decision nod against Shara Magomedov. A decision loss to Ian Machado Garry followed his debut decision win over Kevin Holland.
Jared Cannonier vs. Michael Page UFC 319 expert pick, prediction
Serving as a strange offering at middleweight is a matchup between Jared Cannonier and Michael Page.
I’m not sure if Page even wants to fight at 185 pounds again or if this is just another case of the UFC desperately needing to fill their event schedule by any means necessary, but this fight could leave a lot of us feeling silly for ignoring Cannonier’s size and on-paper grappling edge in this spot.
And though I’m tempted to take a flier on the 41-year-old underdog after seeing him attend the pre-fight pressers looking like Omar from “The Wire,” I can’t ignore the fact that counter fighters with jabs and footwork have traditionally proven to be stylistic kryptonite for Cannonier.
There is a shocking finishing upside for fighters here, but I’ll officially pick Page to peck away at Cannonier from range in a fight that could be frustrating to watch.
