Paige spoke out about his victory at UFC Fight Night 250

"Defeat doesn't take anything away from Shara, doesn't make it worse. People like him because they feel and see what he does in the cage. Shara is an exceptional fighter. But the reason I called him up is different. It seemed to me, with my years of experience, that I had faced a similar style before. And I knew I could handle him. Which is why he didn't look that good today. Does that take anything away from him as a fighter? No, I wouldn't say this guy is a bad fighter. He's awesome," Page said at the post-tournament press conference.
