Michael 'Venom' Page Signs Multiyear Deal With MF Sports Following UFC Exit

Michael "Venom" Page has officially found a new combat sports home, signing a multiyear, multifight agreement with MF Sports after leaving the UFC, according to Sherdog. The promotion announced the signing on Saturday following the expiration of the British fighter's UFC contract.

Page (26-3) posted a 5-1 record inside the Octagon, concluding his promotional tenure with a unanimous decision victory over Nursulton Ruziboev in September. Despite Page riding a four-fight winning streak, the UFC chose not to renew the contract of the 39-year-old, who initially rose to global prominence in Bellator with his unorthodox striking style and highlight-reel finishes.

"I've been in combat sports for a long time and I've had plenty of options, but MF Sports is the right [move]," Page said of his new deal. "They're doing things differently, the energy is huge, and the fights are big. I'm excited for this new chapter, and I'm coming to show the boxing world what I can do."

Misfits co-founder KSI praised the addition of Page, calling him one of the most sought-after names in the sport. "Michael Venom Page is one of the biggest names in combat sports, and everyone wanted him," KSI said. "For him to choose Misfits says everything about where we are as a promotion. He's a superstar, he's explosive, and fans are going to love watching him in the ring with us."
