MF Sports today announced the signing of Michael “Venom” Page to a multi-fight, multi-year agreement, bringing one of the most sought-after names in combat sports to the MF Sports roster.
MVP, one of the most electrifying strikers in the history of mixed martial arts, becomes the latest major star to join the growing MF Sports roster. The Hackney, London native arrives as a free agent following the conclusion of his UFC contract, with promotions around the world competing for his signature, and chose MF Sports as the home for the next chapter of his career.
The 39-year-old holds a professional MMA record of 26-3, including 13 knockouts, and has built a global following on the back of his flashy, unorthodox striking and knockout power. After rising to prominence in Bellator MMA, where he established himself as one of the promotion’s biggest stars, Page moved to the UFC and went 5-1 inside the Octagon, with victories over Jared Cannonier, Shara Magomedov, Sam Patterson, and most recently Nursulton Ruziboev, whom he outpointed over three rounds at UFC Fight Night in September.
Few fighters in the sport have matched Page’s mix of skill, showmanship, and mainstream appeal, and his move to MF Sports sets up a series of must-see fights for the promotion’s rapidly growing audience.
Michael “Venom” Page said: “I’ve been in combat sports for a long time and I’ve had plenty of options, but MF Sports is the right fit for me. They’re doing things differently, the energy is huge, and the fights are big. I’m excited for this new chapter, and I’m coming to show the boxing world what I can do.”
KSI said: “Michael Venom Page is one of the biggest names in combat sports, and everyone wanted him. For him to choose Misfits says everything about where we are as a promotion. He’s a superstar, he’s explosive, and fans are going to love watching him in the ring with us.”
Mams Taylor said: “MVP is special. He’s a once in a lifetime fighter and I can’t express how happy I am that he is now part of the MF family for combat sports. Big things ahead is an understatement. Michael Venom Paige is a superstar and he will be celebrated as such.”
Kalle Sauerland said: “MVP is a world-class athlete with a huge global fanbase and a style fans love to watch. Signing a talent of his calibre to a multi-fight, multi-year deal is a major statement for MF Sports, and we’re very excited about what we’re going to build together.”
