Michael ‘Venom’ Page says Dan Miragliotta issue resolved after apology

Michael ‘Venom’ Page says he and referee Dan Miragliotta have squashed their issue stemming from Bellator Dublin.

The showboater had alleged the veteran ref called him a “piece of shit” following his fight with Richard Kiely, and felt that Miragliotta had a personal issue with him and shouldn’t be allowed to referee his future fights.

Since then, the pair crossed paths in New York at a recent Bellator show, and Page says the issue has been resolved after Miraglitotta extended an olive branch.

“He came up to me and he apologized for … just the whole thing,” Page told the Eurobash podcast. “We had a nice discussion so for me, that episode is now past; it’s old news now. That’s all I said I wanted, I wanted to have a face to face with him. All respect to him, he came up to me and we’ve squashed that. It’s just a thing of the past now.

“For me now, it’s a full stop on the situation. I don’t care to go over specifics. That would probably keep us on bad terms because we’d probably end up disagreeing on something. I appreciate the fact that he came over and apologized for any bad blood and me feeling negative about him in any way. I just accepted that for what it is. We shook hands and we’ll move on from there.”
