MICHAEL ‘VENOM’ PAGE has an advantage over almost all of his opponents when it comes to striking.

But he’s insists he won’t have an additional one when he faces Sharabutdin Magomedov this weekend – despite his UFC Saudi Arabia opponent only having ONE EYE.

MVP insists Magomedov’s visual impairment doesn’t put him at an advantage[/caption]

The pair collide in an eagerly-anticipated middleweight showdown in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 250 at the Kingdom Arena on Saturday night.

Magomedov has captivated MMA fans around the world with his incredible performances inside the cage, most of which have been turned in since he lost vision in his right eye.

Many believe the Dagestani’s visual impairment puts him at an incredible disadvantage, but not Page, who told SunSport: “I personally would say no [I’m not at an advantage].

“And the only reason I’m gonna say no is because this man’s 15-0.

“This guy hasn’t been getting hit with stuff.

“I know how amazing human beings can be with what we class as maybe a disability.

“But we’ve had guys with one arm before fight exceptionally [well].

“We’ve got guys with one leg. If we put our mind to anything, we can do anything we want.

“There’s no such thing as a real disadvantage because our body; we just adapt.

“The fact that he hasn’t been caught means that one eye is good enough.

“So I don’t, I don’t see that as an advantage, but I do see me just being me as an advantage.

“So I just need to go in there and make sure I’m the best me on that day.

“And as talented as he is, he’s he’s not gonna overcome this.”

The undefeated Magomedov is somewhat of the black sheep of Dagestani fighters, with his striking being his most dominant skillset.

Page is a fan of the 30-year-old kickboxer’s handiwork, saying: “He’s got unique angles because he likes to throw from different body positions.

“Like whipping his hooks over after his kicks, quite rapidly as well.

“And you can tell he’s got heavy hands. So there’s a lot about him [I like] and he’s willing to try stuff.

“The double back fist, [he was] willing to try it. It was an exceptional, KO.

Michael 'Venom' Page on Shara Bullet

“But you have to be willing to put yourself in unfamiliar territory, which shows his bravery and shows how confident he is in his abilities.”

Saturday’s Saudi showdown with Magomedov will mark Page’s first-ever foray to middleweight.

The move up to 185lbs and the potential interesting match-ups in the stacked division, however, aren’t distracting Page from his primary goal.

The 37-year-old said: “If there are good fights to be had at middleweight, I’ll take them. But my goal is the welterweight belt.

“Middleweight doesn’t really do anything for me unless it’s an exciting fight.

“So if it’s a good fight, [the] UFC likes it, I like it and fans like it, I’ll do it.

“But the goal is to still progress and go and get that title at welterweight.”

A spectacular win over new favourite Magomedov, however, will well and truly put Page in the mix at 185lbs.

“I feel like I’m definitely coming to make him walk the plank,” Page said of ‘The Pirate’. “[And] make him suffer the first defeat of his career.

“But in a way that I don’t think he ever would have seen it coming before.

“Becuase like I said, he’s gonna be very confident in his striking ability.

“But he’s not gonna understand what I bring to the table.

“He’s not gonna understand my angles, my speed, my precision in my punches and my kicks – he’s not gonna understand it.

“And gonna be stubborn about changing tactics and that’s when you’re gonna see him fall.”

A DUBLIN man has pleaded guilty to taking part in an attack which left a then seventeen-year-old girl blind in one eye.

Alanna Quinn Idris was struck in the face with the saddle of an electric scooter by a member of a gang, fracturing her eye socket and leaving her permanently blind in her right eye.

However, this is set to increase from May 12 to two every day – one in each direction – from Monday to Saturday.

And then during the peak summer season, a third lunchtime flight will be added, from July 1.

The 30 minute flight will also line up with other domestic routes to places like London and Edinburgh.

Skybus managing director Jonathan Hinkles said: “Our expansion at Cornwall Airport Newquay is great news for customers, bringing new connectivity, more seats and more travel options for those flying to and from the Isles of Scilly.”

Skybus first launched from Newquay Airport in 1992.

Last summer, a new fast ferry route from Penzance to the islands was scrapped before it ever started, with the current time takign around 2hr45.

The Isles of Scilly are owned by the Duchy of Cornwall – which is Prince William, with him and Kate Middleton often visiting in the summer.

Made up of 200 islands, only five are inhabited.

Tresco Island is where the royals are often spotted, where they take this kids George, Charlotte and Louis.

Just don’t expect to see them – a holidaymaker who told The Sun: “We hardly noticed at first as they seemed a normal family on holiday intent on keeping themselves to themselves.

The other islands are St Mary’s, Bryher, St Martin and St Agnes.

You can expect a mild climate all year round, being the warmest in the British Isles.

The islands have even been compared to some stunning long-haul destinations.

Travel website The Travel said: “If The Maldives is out of the question, consider visiting this UK archipelago that’s just as stunning.”

The islands are also home to the smallest airport in the UK, with Land’s End Airport only having 19-seat planes.

Another one of the islands is St Agnes, which has a super budget campsite if you want to stay for cheap.

Troytown Farm is the only dairy farm in Scilly and camping you can stay for just £12.50 a night.

Otherwise the island of St Mary’s has the Star Castle Hotel which dates back to the 16th century.

Jersey Airport is also getting new flights amid a £2million revamp.

And Blue Islands is launching a new route from Newcastle to the Channel Islands.

BIANCA Censori has shown off her underwear in a see-through white jumpsuit at the airport.

Dashing through the airport with her husband Kanye West, fans are speculating that the duo are headed back to the United States – although this is not confirmed.

Showing off her sensational figure, Bianca, 30, rocked a see-through white one-piece as she stood beside the rapper, 47.

Bianca wore her brunette locks tied up into a bun at the back of her head, with the stunning model rocking some large sunglasses.

From a distance, the YEEZY architect looked almost naked, with the one-piece clinging to every inch and curve of her toned body.

The jumpsuit that Bianca donned was a gray colour and in the style of a roll-neck.

Bianca’s body was completely covered up from her neck to her wrists, all the way down to her feet.

She rocked a pair of heeled pumps with the skintight onesie, with her underwear on full display.

The snaps of the couple have since been shared in various Reddit threads, with one of the Redditors writing alongside the photos: “Ye and Bianca seen at the airport (allegedly going to the states).”

“He’s coming back to the US to drop the album and do a listening party,” speculated another.

“If he really is coming back to the US, I think we’re getting a listening party,” added a third in a different sub-Reddit.

SPECULATION FOR ‘US RETURN’

They went on: “I’m not sure when, but I think that if Ye is really coming back to LA, we’re going to get a listening party at some point in the next month or two during the rollout.

“I still think the album probably drops in the next couple of months, with a listening party in there somewhere. Maybe in Chicago, LA, or New York, something like that.

“I remember Ye Streams on twitter saying he heard from a source that there were possible events planned in LA and New York a few months ago I think. Idk how reliable that source was but shoutout Ye Streams.”

While someone else commented: “He’s there for the Grammys,” to which another fan of the rapper said: “I honestly can’t picture him going but I think it’s possible he pulls up.”

KANYE AND BIANCA’S LOVE STORY

Kanye and Bianca have been married since December 2022.

The pair got hitched mere weeks after the rapper’s divorce from ex-wife Kim Kardashian was finalized.

Ye and Bianca often turn heads with their racy and NSFW displays, with the Aussie model often rocking next to nothing when stepping out with her man.

The couple have recently been traveling around the world, with them having spent a lot of time in Tokyo.

While the pair have been in Japan, they have frequently been spotted enjoying meals out together and packing on the PDA.

Kanye and Bianca have recently been seen at Starbucks, McDonalds and a 7-Eleven.
