Big John McCarthy just compared Michael Page's ground game to BJJ black belt Anderson Silva's and I've honestly never been so upset.

Oh my. @PhenomLima just put MVP's lights out for the first time in his career. Just a nasty KO and is now one win from a cool million dollars from @50cent … although lately, taking money from #fofty is a dangerous proposition…
