UFC Parts Ways With Michael 'Venom' Page Following UFC Paris Win

By MMAReign News Desk·Sep 9, 2026 • 3:02 AM

UFC CEO Dana White has confirmed that Michael 'Venom' Page is no longer with the UFC following the expiration of his contract after his win at UFC Paris.

Michael 'Venom' Page is officially a free agent. UFC CEO Dana White confirmed on Monday that the organization will not be renewing the contract of the British striking standout, ending his tenure with the promotion following his recent appearance at UFC Paris.

Page last competed this past Saturday in the French capital, where he secured a unanimous decision victory over Nursulton Ruziboev in the evening's featured bout. Despite the win, the performance was widely characterized as lackluster by fans and analysts, and it marked the conclusion of his existing deal with the UFC.

With his contract now expired, Page enters the open market immediately. The 37-year-old veteran joined the UFC roster after a lengthy and successful run in Bellator, bringing his unique kickboxing style to the Octagon. His departure leaves questions regarding his next move in a rapidly evolving professional mixed martial arts landscape.

There has been no word from Page or his management team regarding potential talks with other major global promotions at this time.
