“They’ve got history with sparring, and probably the best out of the lot of them, the Kazakh, Janibek [Alimkhanuly] – we’ve made it clear we’d take that fight as well. Aaron will fight any of those champions, no problem. Considering he’s a big lad, he’s 6ft 3, if there’s a mega fight or a super fight at super middleweight he’ll take that as well.

Michael Page wouldn’t mind throwing leather with another UFC 319 winner. Page competed on the main card of UFC 319 this past Saturday.
