Michael “Venom” Page has said he feels “free of the shackles” after signing for Misfits Boxing , a month after his UFC exit was confirmed. In September, UFC president and CEO Dana White announced that the British fighter had not been re-signed by the mixed martial arts ( MMA ) promotion, despite Page’s solid run. Page, 39, debuted in the UFC in 2024 and compiled a 5-1 record, though he failed to score any of the flashy knockouts that made him famous.
