    The Fighter Nobody Wants To Face - Michael 'Venom' Page (Elite Podcast #58)
    2026/07/11
    Send us Fan MailMichael 'Venom' Page joins Lee Matthews on The Elite Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about his journey from a kid getting beaten week in, week out, to one of the most recognisable and unconventional fighters in the UFC.Before MMA, MVP became a multiple-time kickboxing world champion, won open weight titles against grown men as a teenager, and helped form one of the best points-fighting teams Great Britain has ever produced. When he switched to MMA, his very first fight went viral off a spectacular knockout — and he explains why the showman style that makes referees and fighters stop just to watch is the exact same reason so many opponents now want nothing to do with him.He opens up on the years of losing that built him, the giant who bullied him before becoming a friend, and the six-year grudge that fuelled one of his most personal fights. He talks about the birth of the "MVP" alter ego, watching 98% of the comments on his first viral fight turn negative, and the moment that made him stop reading them for good. Lee and Mike also dig into finding a coach who wouldn't strip away his style, why he stays off the floor, and the mission behind Total Kombat — a professional home for the 200 million martial artists the mainstream has ignored.From North West London to the UFC, this is the story of a fighter who refused to be conventional — and won anyway.The Elite Podcast is a brand-new show where host Lee Matthews speaks to individuals who are at the top of their industry and profession. The guests will be from different backgrounds including combat sports, military, and business to coaching. Lee will be finding out along with you why they have become the best in their fields and enjoyed acclaimed success and what they all share – their determination to become ELITE in their field.Lee Matthews is a former paratrooper, kickboxing world champion and now entrepreneur.

    Send us Fan MailTais O’Donnell joins Lee Matthews for a conversation about his rise through Total Kombat, his Muay Thai background, and why he believes he is the fight everyone wants to see.Still only young, Tais has already built a reputation as one of the most entertaining and dangerous fighters in Total Kombat. With a 3-0 record and every win coming by knockout or TKO, he talks about adapting his Muay Thai style for The Oval, fighting without elbows, knees, and low kicks, and why he believes Joe Brooks can’t call himself a real champion until they fight. Tais also opens up about how he first got into martial arts after having his food stolen as a kid, the early struggles of going on a seven-fight losing streak, and the mindset shift that helped him turn things around. He discusses his coach Jimmy Busk, the importance of self-belief, building the “Muay Tais” character, using social media to stand out, and his plans to keep chasing big opportunities in combat sports.
