Watch MMA Welterweight Michael ‘Venom’ Page Take the Pokemon Thing Way Too Far (Video)

Bellator fighter literally rolls a Pokeball at his defeated opponent in the ring

The Pokemon craze has officially reached the MMA Octogon.

During a Bellator 158 fight on Saturday, Michael “Venom” Page knocked out Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos with a flying knee. But rather than a traditional victory celebration, the welterweight fighter — outfitted with a Pokemon trainer hat — proceeded to roll a Pokeball toward his opponent to signal his successful catch.

Guess you really do have to catch ’em all.

The full fight airs on Spike TV on Saturday at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Watch the video above.
