Michael ‘Venom’ Page Fights Out UFC Deal with Low-Volume Paris Win: ‘I Know I Can Do Better’

Michael “Venom” Page secured a unanimous decision victory over Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC Paris, but the performance left the crowd underwhelmed. Over three rounds, the 39-year-old striking specialist landed just 12 significant strikes, drawing loud boos from the French audience.

The bout marked the final fight on Page’s current UFC contract. Holding a 5-1 octagon record but still searching for his first finish in the promotion, MVP acknowledged his overly cautious approach: “It’s frustrating because I feel like I’m holding back. The fans deserve more. I’m going back to the drawing board to adapt my style and sit down with the UFC. Have faith—I can still deliver something special.”
