Michael Page

MVP just secured a MASSIVE payday after leaving the UFC 💰 Michael “Venom” Page revealed on The Ariel Helwani Show that Misfits offered him an absolutely CRAZY deal, paying roughly DOUBLE what he earned in the UFC. He confirmed a 7-figure payday PER FIGHT, claiming his three-fight Misfits contract will earn him MORE than his entire six-fight UFC run combined 🤯

Michael Page has signed a multi-fight deal with Misfits Boxing, announced this past Saturday, after the UFC chose not to re-sign him following his decision win over Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC Paris in September. Page finished his UFC run 5-1, with his lone loss coming to Ian Machado Garry at UFC 303 in June 2024. The 39-year-old said he feels "free of the shackles" and welcomes the creative freedom over his walkouts and entrances that he says he was not allowed in the UFC. Page said the deal came together quickly and was not confirmed until days before the announcement.

Israel Adesanya believes the UFC made a mistake by letting Michael “Venom” Page go. Izzy says counter-strikers like MVP can struggle when opponents refuse to attack and only wait for them to make the first move. In his view, fighters with that style need time and the freedom to show what they can do. After a 5–1 UFC record, Adesanya feels MVP deserved another chance to keep building in the Octagon.
