Michael ‘Venom’ Page has signed a multi-fight deal with Misfits Boxing following his departure from the UFC, with the announcement made during the promotion’s event in the UK on Saturday.

Misfits co-founder KSI entered the ring to confirm the signing of the 39-year-old British fighter, who also made an appearance at the event with an entrance inspired by WWE legend The Undertaker. Neither a date nor an opponent has been confirmed for Page’s promotional debut.

The move comes after Page completed his six-fight UFC contract with a unanimous decision victory over Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC Paris in September. Despite compiling a 5-1 record during his time with the organisation, the UFC elected not to offer him a new deal.

Page, a longtime Bellator standout, competed in both the welterweight and middleweight divisions during his UFC career. His only defeat came against Ian Machado Garry, who secured a unanimous decision victory over the Londoner at UFC 303 in June 2024.

The multi-fight agreement marks the next chapter of Page’s combat sports career, although it remains unclear when he will make his first appearance under the Misfits Boxing banner. Further details regarding his debut opponent and the promotion’s plans for the former UFC contender have yet to be announced.

Page has previous experience competing outside traditional mixed martial arts. In August 2022, he faced Mike Perry in a bare-knuckle boxing contest at BKFC 27, losing a majority decision after the main event went into an additional round.
