Apparently, no one told Bellator rising star Michael “Venom” Page that kicking an opponent when he/she is down is frowned upon. The up-and-coming fighter mocked Ronda Rousey again on social media by uploading another humiliating video.
Page posted a video on Instagram, taking a swipe at Rousey’s loyalty to boxing trainer Edmond Tarverdyan. The infamous trainer has been a hot topic on most public MMA forums.
Rousey put her faith in Tarverdyan, and clearly he has failed her in a big way. According to Amanda Nunes, Rousey’s coaching staff had essentially deluded her into thinking she was something she was not.
Fans Have Criticized Ronda Rousey’s Boxing Skills Or Lack Thereof
Opting for a stand-up trade and shying away from her original fight style, Rousey suffered a brutal loss in the main event of UFC 207 over the weekend. The former UFC women’s bantamweight champion only lasted 48 seconds inside the Octagon with Nunes.
In the video, Page got a sound byte of Tarverdyan calling for head movement. But the fighter found similarities with a past episode of hit TV series “Friends”. The sequence was when Tarverdyan was giving instructions to Rousey before Nunes went for the kill.

Michael Venom Page Roasts Rousey Hard Once More
Page has been roasting Rousey lately on social media. While Rousey’s actions before the fight certainly didn’t do much to endear her to fans, the level schadenfreude enjoyed by many has been extreme.
After the fight against Nunes, Page posted a Rousey mockery with an Instagram post attempting to create the first dance craze of 2017, “The Ronda Rousey Shuffle.”
The video shows Page jerking intermittently with his hands and fists and occasionally snapping his head back as if punched in the face. It’s captioned with the hashtags “#TheBestHandsDown” and “#handsdown” clearly decrying the boxing defense of Rousey.
Rousey’s boyfriend Travis Browne was extremely upset with Page’s post. The UFC heavyweight allegedly tweeted and deleted a response to Page saying, “F*ckk you @Michaelpage247 I’m ready any time b*tch.”
