Michael ‘Venom’ Page Demands Big-Name UFC Bouts Before Contract Expires

Michael ‘Venom’ Page Demands Big-Name UFC Bouts Before Contract Expires

Michael ‘Venom’ Page will close out his current UFC deal at UFC Paris on September 5 against Nursulton Ruziboev. While he respects Ruziboev, Page admits this is not the high-profile matchup he has been chasing since signing with the promotion. The former Bellator standout has repeatedly proposed ranked contenders, only to meet scheduling conflicts and injuries. With his contract ending after UFC Paris, he hopes one final performance will secure the big-name fights and a new deal. Page, who holds a 4-1 Octagon record, insists he can still reach the top. Rather than stress over matchmaking politics, he plans to let his skills speak for themselves and force the UFC to reconsider his place among the division’s elite.

Page has only one fight left on his contract. Do you think he'll land the blockbuster matchup he's been demanding?

I think so too—his style and profile should attract those matchups before the contract ends.

It seems odd that UFC didn't pair him with a bigger opponent after his standout record in Bellator.

I'm not convinced demanding top names is realistic given his mixed results so far in UFC bouts.

He should focus on impressive finishes now and let that performance speak louder to earn those high-profile fights.
