At the Bellator 200 on Friday May 25th, Page was returning after an 18 month hiatus, and during his time off had obviously become a fan of the battle royale game Fortnite. And Page is known for his extravagant fight celebrations, so fans were waiting to see how he would elevate his performance, provided he got past his opponent, David Rickles. Ahead of the fight, Page even mentioned that he would had been inspired by Atletico Madrid player Antoinne Griezmann and his Fortnite celebrations. Speaking to the Metro before the fight, Page said it was important he picked something that would be relevant. \u201cI\u2019m hoping for a big bang finish. It\u2019s all brainstorming still, it could change.\u2019 There\u2019s loads, all the up and coming dance moves, games, new movies coming. There\u2019s so much out there, I saw Antoine Griezmann doing the Fortnite dance. There\u2019s so much out there these days, it\u2019s hard to decide. There\u2019s so many different things going off at the same time. I like to leave it to as close as possible and pick the most relevant.\u201d And he did not disappoint, as he taunted his opponent with dances mid-fight, and once Rickles forfeited by verbal submission \u2013 signalling to the referee to say he could not go on. Caveman quits! There&#8217;s pints being chucked from the stands! MVP couldn&#8217;t care less. @BellatorMMA #Bellator200 pic.twitter.com\/cxJtrGhdbY \u2014 Phil Haigh (@philhaigh_) May 25, 2018 And once the fight was over, Page, also known as \u2018Venom\u2019 or \u2018MVP\u2019, continued with the Fortnite \u2018L\u2019 dance \u2013 just like Griezmann, as well as the new \u2018Shoot dance.\u2019 After the fight, he said he was dedicating the win to his cousin Helena Ramsay, who was killed in the Florida shooting at Parkland high school. He also made a comment in a post match interview about the Infinity Gauntlet: \u201cJust let me click my fingers. I\u2019m taking over everybody, everybody.\u201d MVP really pulled out the Infinity Gauntlet and hits us w\/ the Fortnight dance after Rickles verbally tapped.
