When the Kaseya Center went black and the bell tolled, a roar came from the UFC 299 crowd in Miami two weeks ago. 

As "MVP, MVP, MVP" chants were heard, Michael "Venom" Page walked out with a black cloak and smoke bellowing from behind him. For those that know WWE, the signature music in the background as he walked into the arena showed him clearly paying homage to The Undertaker with his now-iconic entrance in his UFC debut against Kevin Holland. 

Page is all about entertaining. Whether it's the suspense of seeing his entrance, the dancing during his walk to the ring, or his favorite part — putting on a show for the crowd in the octagon — he knows fans will remember him no matter where his name is on the fight card.

The 36-year-old has literally fought long and hard to get into a UFC octagon, where he is now 1-0 after defeating Holland by unanimous decision. But, just like the UFC 299 broadcast said, Page's name is known throughout the fighting world.
