Only for strong characters! Bellator star Michael “Venom” Page snapped his opponent’s kneecap during a kick. The match ended after 26 seconds

Bellator star Michael “Venom” Page ended his fight with Goiti Yamauchi after just 26 seconds when he snapped his opponent’s kneecap with a kick.

292. the American MMA organization’s Bellator tournament offered, above all, another dominant defense of Usman Nurmagomedov’s lightweight title. But the gala also featured a moment that is only for the strong.

One of the organization’s biggest stars, Michael “Venom” Page, took on the fifth man in the welterweight division, Goiti Yamauchi. The expected duel had a very quick and sad ending.

In the 26th second of the fight the bout ended due to an injury to the Japanese fighter. Page hit his opponent so hard that he ruptured his kneecap. The British star saw his opponent go down, but at that moment he had no idea how serious his opponent was.

“I saw him go down and not get up, but I thought I just hit a nerve,” Page recounted of the moment , according to Middleeasy.com. “I didn’t see the lump until I looked at the main screen. I have to admit, it took a lot of the joy out of winning.”

“Of course I came here to win fights, but I don’t like to take money out of people’s pockets. Yes, he’ll get paid for the fight, but he’ll be out for a lot longer with an injury like that than if I just knocked him out,” rued the former title challenger.

Yamauchi didn’t follow up his three straight wins and it must be added that he won’t be back in the cage just like that. It was Page who got back on a winning streak after losing his title fight and is looking for another title opportunity. The division champion is undefeated Ukrainian Yaroslav Amozov, who holds an impressive 27 wins.
