Overview
- Page completed his six-fight UFC contract with a unanimous decision over Nursulton Ruziboev in a widely booed bout at UFC Paris on Saturday.
- The UFC sent a memo to rankings panelists on Monday removing Page from rankings eligibility, a move outlets interpret as the promotion not having re-signed him.
- Page posted a brief Instagram thank-you to Paris and said the UFC “weren’t happy with the performance,” and he was not given a post-fight cage interview, highlighting growing friction with the promotion.
- Across six UFC fights Page went 5-1 but recorded no stoppages and drew repeated criticism for low activity, a factor outlets say likely weakened his case for a new deal.
- With his contract apparently expired, media coverage is projecting interest from outside outfits such as promotions tied to Scott Coker, PFL-linked ventures, MVP MMA, bare-knuckle leagues, and Karate Combat as immediate options.
