Michael Page Enters Free Agency Following UFC Departure

Michael Page has officially entered free agency after the UFC confirmed it would not be pursuing a new contract for the veteran fighter. The development follows Page's recent tenure with the promotion, where he compiled a 5-1 record, capped by a decision victory over Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC Paris earlier this month. Despite his recent success inside the Octagon, UFC CEO Dana White publicly stated that the organization was not interested in re-signing the British striker. Page indicated in recent reports that he anticipated the UFC would offer a lower-tier contract compared to his previous earnings, noting that the reality of his free agency aligns with the promotion's current stance. With his current deal concluded, Page is now eligible to explore opportunities with other major combat sports organizations. As a high-profile striker with a significant international following, his transition out of the UFC marks a notable shift in the welterweight landscape. No details regarding potential negotiations with other promotions have been disclosed at this time.
