British fighter Michael ‘Venom’ Page is leaving the UFC, its president Dana White has confirmed.
The 39-year-old, who is nicknamed MVP, joined MMA’s top promotion in December 2023 on a six-fight contract.
He concluded that deal with an underwhelming win over Nursulton Ruziboev on Saturday amid booing from the crowd in Paris.
Page has a 5-1 record with UFC, fighting at welterweight and middleweight, but all five of those wins have come via decision and he has admitted to not delivering “what I wanted to deliver”.
Although the Londoner was keen to discuss his future with the UFC, he was removed from their rankings after Saturday’s fight.
White has now added: “That was his last fight on his contract. I don’t think we’re signing him, no.
“What’s the confusion? I think it’s been pretty clear that he wasn’t being re-signed and that he would be taken out of the rankings because he’s no longer on the roster.”
With the former Bellator fighter now a free agent, he could join the PFL or turn to boxing.
