Michael “Venom” Page Admits His Mistake as He Hopes to Avoid UFC Roster Cut

Michael Page won a unanimous decision over Nursulton Ruziboev, but his UFC contract expired and he may explore PFL or boxing options.

  • Michael 'Venom' Page won a unanimous decision over Nursulton Ruziboev in Paris. This fight marked the final bout on the fighter's UFC contract, leaving the 39-year-old as a free agent.
  • Since arriving in the UFC over two years ago, Page has primarily secured decision victories, despite his reputation as an innovative striker.
  • Throughout the bout, Page landed 12 significant strikes. While the 32-year-old Ruziboev controlled the ground, the French crowd jeered during the contest due to a lack of explosive action.
  • Addressing the contest, Page stated the fight with Uzbekistan's Ruziboev was "important to re-establish myself with the UFC," acknowledging he failed to secure the finish he wanted.
  • Now entering free agency, the fighter faces a career crossroads. Options for the London native, should he not re-sign with the UFC, include transitioning to the PFL or pursuing other combat sports.
