Familiar with both Michael’s page It is Ian Machado Garry, Logan Storley gave his opinion on their fight.
Page (22-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) faces Garry (14-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) in Saturday’s main card opener at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (Image: Getty Images)ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+).
Storley defeated Page via split decision in their interim welterweight title fight in May 2022. He also spent time training with Garry at Kill Cliff FC before the undefeated man left for Chute Boxe in São Paulo.
After five rounds with Page, Storley praised his speed. He drew on his decorated wrestling background, landing eight takedowns to secure the victory.
“Obviously, Ian trained with us at Kill Cliff, I spent 25 minutes in the cage with the MVP,” Storley told MMA Junkie Radio. “I think it will be a very close fight. That’s what I see, but I think the MVP’s speed is different. But Ian has good length, really good shots, good calf kicks, which could slow down the MVP, and they’re both long and lanky.
“So, I don’t know who will win this fight. I just know that it will be very technical and the two will have to deal with different problems. Ian controls distance well and MVP’s speed is just different.”
Storley (15-3) will be in action this week when he faces last-minute replacement Luca Poclit (10-1) in Friday’s PFL 6 (ESPN/ESPN+) co-main event at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, SD
During his tenure at Bellator, Storley scored victories over Page and Joaquin Buckley, both of whom are now ranked as UFC welterweights.
“I’m glad they’re OK,” Storley said. “It shows the level that was at Bellator to see those guys go there and compete really well in the UFC, and you respect them. You shared time with them in the cage. So yeah, they’re both doing really well and it’s exciting to see.”
