Michael Page, the dynamic English striker known as "Venom," has been removed from the UFC roster, AgentMMA.com can confirm, marking a notable departure from the promotion.
Page, 39, built a reputation as one of the most flamboyant and technically gifted strikers in mixed martial arts. Fighting out of London Shootfighters, the six-foot-three welterweight — who most recently competed at middleweight, where he held a divisional ranking of 15 — carried a professional record of 26-3-0 into this development. His 79-inch reach and switch stance formed the foundation of a striking game that produced 2.28 significant strikes landed per minute at a remarkable 58 percent accuracy, numbers that reflected the precision behind his highlight-reel finishes throughout his career.
Why it matters
- Page was ranked 15th in the middleweight division, meaning his exit creates an immediate vacancy in the lower tier of the rankings.
- His departure removes one of the sport's most distinctive stand-up stylists, a fighter whose unorthodox movement and creative striking made him a fan favorite.
- At 39, the circumstances surrounding his removal — whether a mutual parting, contract expiration, or another factor — remain unspecified, leaving his next competitive destination an open question.
