DUBLIN — Michael Page shook off his first career loss in grand style on Friday. “MVP” knocked out an overmatched Richard Kiely in the opening round of their welterweight fight at Bellator Europe 4 with a picture-perfect flying knee in a return to his highlight-reel form and to the win column. However, it did not come without controversy. “Venom” was controversially deducted a point for showboating by referee Dan Miragliotta before the finishing flurry. In his post-fight interview backstage at 3Arena, Page (15-1 MMA, 11-1 BMMA) made an explosive claim, saying the referee called the fighter a “piece of (expletive)” after the bout. Page further said that he never wants the New Jersey-based official to be the third man in the cage for one of his fights ever again after the bout with Kiely (3-2 MMA, 1-1 BMMA)
