For other people named Michael Page, see Michael Page (disambiguation).

Michael Jerome Reece-Page[2][3] (born 7 April 1987), better known as Michael "Venom" Page or MVP, is an English professional mixed martial artist. He currently competes in the Welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).[4][5] As of 11 June 2024, he is #14 in the UFC welterweight rankings.[6]

He is recognized in the MMA community for his unorthodox and highly explosive point fighting style, which originated from freestyle kickboxing (points fighting) and sport karate.[7][8] He has also competed professionally as a kickboxer, boxer and bare-knuckle boxer.

Early life

Page was born in St Mary's Hospital, London to Curtis Page Sr. and Pauline Reece, who were both Lau Gar kung fu practitioners.[9] His father, a British Telecom employee, hailed from Trinidad while his mother, a nurse, was from Jamaica.[4][5][10][11] Page is a maternal nephew of Lau Gar Master Stan Brown, who was also the instructor of his father.[12][13] He has nine siblings, three of whom are adopted.[14] Page attended Quintin Kynaston School in St John's Wood, alongside Olympian judoka Ashley McKenzie.[15][16] He grew up in NW8 near Edgware Road and Lisson Green before moving to W10 near Queen's Park in 2003.[12][15][17] Since almost everyone in his family was involved in martial arts, he felt it was natural to follow suit.[18][19]

Kickboxing career

His father, Curtis Page Sr. was his instructor.[18][20] Of his nine siblings, his sister Sefena and brothers Curtis Jr., Jamie, and Kalon are also kickboxing champions.[citation needed]

Page began training in Lau Gar at the age of 3 and competed at his first kickboxing tournament at the age of 5.[21][22][23] By the age of 8, he began to devote himself to competition and entered his first international tournament in Germany.[13][24]

Page won 10 world championships in kickboxing – his first was at the US Open ISKA World Martial Arts Championships 1998[25] in Orlando, Florida[13] when he was 12 years old[26] – and was crowned British champion over 25 times.[27] By the age of 13, Page started entering adult competitions.[13][19][28] To prepare, he would train five hours a day for five days a week.[29] During tournament days he would often fight up to 14 times due to competing in three weight classes, and at one point fought 22 times in a day across five weight classes.[30] Another world title win was at the W.A.K.O. World Championships 2007 (Coimbra) where, at the −89 kg semi-contact division, he won gold after defeating Dave Heffernan.[31][32] He also competed at the W.A.K.O. Austrian Classics Worldcup 2008 (Kufstein), winning gold in the −84 kg semi-contact division over Krisztián Jároszkievicz.[33][34] Page participated at the W.A.K.O. Irish Open 2008 (Dublin), earning silver in the −84 kg semi-contact division after falling short to Raymond Daniels.[35] Page then won gold at the W.A.K.O. Austrian Classics Worldcup 2009 (Walchsee), placing first in both the −84 kg light-contact and semi-contact divisions, defeating Bojan Miskovic and Zvonimir Gribl respectively.[36][37] Page returned to participate in the W.A.K.O. Irish Open 2009 (Dublin) but was defeated by Raymond Daniels, placing second in the −84 kg semi-contact division.[38] Page – appointed as the WKA Head Coach[39] – led a team to the WKA World Championships 2009 (Huelva), defeating James Benjamin Stewart to claim gold in the organisation's first semi-contact prize competition[40] and bronze in the −90 kg light-contact division, upon being bested by Tarek Haydar.[2][3] He then participated in the W.A.K.O. World Championships 2009 (Lignano Sabbiadoro) and finished second in the −84 kg semi-contact division, after being defeated by Krisztián Jároszkievicz.[41] On 4 September 2010, he competed at the World Combat Games 2010 (Beijing) in the −84 kg semi-contact division, where he earned silver, losing gold to Krisztián Jároszkievicz.[42][43] Page fought Raymond Daniels at the W.A.K.O. Irish Open 2011 (Dublin), securing silver in the −84 kg semi-contact division.[8]

Page was scouted by the Great Britain Taekwondo team to train and qualify for the Olympics but turned it down to pursue a professional combat sports career.[44]

When not competing Page trains others in kickboxing, primarily as an instructor at the Hands Down Martial Arts Academies throughout Surrey.[45]

Mixed martial arts career

Background

Dissatisfied with the lack of exposure[46] as well as the politics[47] involved in competing among various kickboxing associations, Page decided to cross over into mixed martial arts.[48][49] He initially considered going to American Top Team[50] during his transition into MMA since his older siblings live in Miami[18] but chose to start his career with London Shootfighters[51] in July 2011.[52] Page spends up to seven hours training in the gym, and does not undergo IV therapy after cutting weight.[53][54] He cross-trains Brazilian jiu-jitsu at Gracie Barra.[55] Page is represented by Paradigm Sports Management.[56][57]

UCMMA

Page made his MMA debut at UCMMA 26 against Ben Dishman on 4 February 2012 and won via technical knockout from a first round tornado kick.[58] His original opponent Sam Boo withdrew a day before the fight.[59][60] The fight went viral and comparisons were drawn between Page and Anderson Silva.[61][62][63] He was paid £200 for the bout.[64]

On 7 April 2012, Page faced Miguel Bernard at UCMMA 27 in a 176 lb catchweight bout despite weighing in at 165 lb.[65] Page won in the first round after forcing Bernard to tap out upon transitioning from a triangle choke into an armbar.[66]

Page briefly returned to kickboxing when he fought in a UK-1 bout on 18 August 2012 at UCMMA 29. Page was supposed to challenge UCMMA UK-1 welterweight champion Peter Irving for the belt.[67][68] However, Irving pulled out of the fight due to a neck injury[12] and was replaced by Jefferson George after another three opponents dropped out within a month for undisclosed reasons.[69][70] Page won after knocking out George from a two punch combination in the second round.[71]

Super Fight League

On 24 June 2012, Super Fight League announced that they signed Michael Page[72] to an exclusive 18-month, four-fight contract.[73]

Page made his promotional debut on 2 November 2012 at SFL 7 as the main event against Haitham El-Sayed, winning by technical knockout in round one via doctor stoppage due to cuts.[74]

Page returned to Super Fight League on 12 April 2013 to face Ramdan Mohamed at SFL 15 as the main event and won via rear-naked choke in the first round.[75]

Bellator MMA

2013

After winning his UK-1 fight against Jefferson George, Page announced that he had signed a five-fight contract with Bellator MMA and that he would fight for Bellator and Super Fight League under their respective contracts.[76][77]

Page was expected to make his promotional debut at Bellator 82 but pulled out of the bout citing surgery for an old injury.[78][79][80] Another potential yet unannounced debut at Bellator 90 against Sean Powers was cancelled for undisclosed reasons.[81]

Page made his debut on 21 March 2013 at Bellator 93.[82] He faced Ryan Sanders and won via knockout at 10 seconds into the first round.[83]

Page was scheduled to fight Kenny Ento at Bellator 102[84] but withdrew due to a rib cartilage injury,[85][86] an ankle injury,[87] and a knee injury.[88] A later appearance slated for Bellator 109 against Andrew Osborne was also cancelled because of lingering injuries.[89]

2014

Page was slated to fight Fight Master: Bellator MMA contestant Marcus Aurelio at Bellator 120 on 17 May 2014 but Aurelio withdrew due to injury.[90][91] Ricky Rainey was immediately sought as a replacement after his Bellator 116 victory[92] and was informed of his opponent a week later.[93] Page won via technical knockout in the first round.[94]

Page next faced Nah-Shon Burrell at Bellator 128 as the co-main event on 10 October 2014.[95] He won via unanimous decision.[96]

On 19 December 2014, Michael Page confirmed that he was no longer contracted with Super Fight League and instead signed an exclusive two year, five-fight contract extension with Bellator.[14][97]

2015

Page was expected to face Curtis Millender at Bellator 134.[98] However, Page pulled out of the fight due to a cut over his left eye which was sustained during a guard passing drill[99] and required six stitches.[100] He was replaced by Brennan Ward.[101]

Page faced Rudy Bears at Bellator 140 on 17 July 2015.[102] He won by knockout in the first round.[103]

Page fought Charlie Ontiveros at Bellator 144 on 23 October 2015 with less than three weeks' notice after four opponents – including his initial opponent Marius Žaromskis[104] and later Cristiano Souza[105] – pulled out of the fight for undisclosed reasons.[106] Page won via verbal submission due to elbows in the first round after dislocating Ontiveros' jaw.[107][108][109]

2016

He was expected to fight Fernando Gonzalez at Bellator 151 as the co-main event[110] but withdrew from the bout as he was already committed to officiate at the W.A.K.O. Irish Open 2016 (Dublin)[111] as coach of the Top Ten UK team.[112] He was replaced by Gilbert Smith.[113]

Page defeated Jeremie Holloway at Bellator 153 on 22 April 2016, submitting him with an Estima lock in round one.[114][115][116]

Page's fight with Fernando Gonzalez was rescheduled[117] for Bellator 158 on 16 July 2016 but visa issues forced Gonzalez to withdraw.[118] Page accepted a contract to fight Paul Daley after Josh Koscheck withdrew but Daley chose to fight Douglas Lima instead.[119] Page fought Evangelista Santos[citation needed] and won by knocking out Santos with a flying knee in the second round.[120] Santos underwent surgery afterwards due to a depressed frontal sinus fracture.[121] The fight went viral partly due to the Pokémon Go-inspired post-fight celebration.[122]

In July 2016, Bellator claimed that Page re-signed[123] with the promotion and had four fights left on his contract.[124] However, Page stated that he did not re-sign but had two fights left from existing contractual provisions.[125]

Page fought Fernando Gonzalez on 19 November 2016 at Bellator 165 as the co-main event.[126] He won the fight via split decision.[127]

2017

A proposed bout between Page and Paul Daley was targeted for Bellator 179 but negotiations fell through after Daley chose to fight Rory MacDonald instead.[128] Page was supposed to fight Derek Anderson[129] but an old knee injury[130][131] and neck injury forced him off the card.[132] Daley attempted to brawl with Page after losing his fight.[133] Another fight with Daley was proposed for September 2017 in London but was turned down by Daley, who instead opted to fight Lorenz Larkin at Bellator 183.[134][135]

Page was expected to compete at Bellator 191 but a fight was never announced.[136]

2018

Bellator attempted to match Page against Daley on 9 March 2018 but negotiations stalled when Daley refused to commit to the date.[137]

Page fought David Rickels on 25 May 2018 at Bellator 200 as the co-main event.[138] He won the fight via verbal submission due to a punch in the second round that opened a cut above Rickels' left eye.[139][140] He spent a portion of his training camp at Straight Blast Gym - Ireland in preparation for the fight.[141] He paid tribute to his cousin Helena Ramsay, a victim of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, during the open workout and post-fight interview.[142][143]

On 30 July 2018, Page confirmed signing a new six-fight contract with Bellator, three for the tournament and three as part of the champion clause.[144] The contract will let him box, subject to Bellator's approval.[145]

2019

Page faced Paul Daley in the quarter-final of the Bellator Welterweight World Grand Prix Tournament on 16 February 2019 at Bellator 216.[146][147] He won by unanimous decision, in an uneventful fight in which neither fighter was able to mount any significant offence.[148][149] His father died prior to the fight on 26 December 2018.[150][151]

Page fought former two-time Bellator Welterweight World Champion Douglas Lima in the semi-final of the welterweight tournament on 11 May 2019 at Bellator 221.[152] Despite having some initial success, Page lost the fight via knockout in the second round.[153]

Page faced Douglas Lima in a rematch on 1 October 2021 at Bellator 267, Bellator's first card in the UK since the COVID-19 pandemic.[166] He won the bout via split decision.[167]

2022

Page was scheduled to fight for the Bellator Welterweight World Championship against reigning champion Yaroslav Amosov on 13 May 2022 at Bellator 281.[168] However, Amosov pulled out of the bout to fight in the Russo-Ukrainian War and was replaced by Logan Storley with the bout instead being for the interim Bellator Welterweight World Championship.[169] Page lost the bout via split decision.[170]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

In December 2023, it was announced that Page has signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship after free agency. Page made his UFC debut against Kevin Holland on 9 March 2024 at UFC 299.[174] He won the bout by unanimous decision.[175]

Page is scheduled to face Ian Garry on 29 June 2024, at UFC 303.[176]

Boxing career

On 12 July 2017, it was announced that Page signed a three-year, fifteen-fight contract[177] with Hayemaker Ringstar, a promotional joint venture of David Haye and Richard Schaefer.[178] Page began training under the tutelage of Ismael Salas at Hayemaker HQ on 27 July 2017,[179] alongside Joe Joyce, Qais Ashfaq, and Willy Hutchinson.[180] While he still trains at London Shootfighters, he spends four days a week training at Hayemaker HQ.[181][182] Page compared the transition from MMA to boxing to a "sprinter turning into a long distance runner."[183] He did commentary for Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor in Las Vegas with Mike Costello and Steve Bunce on BBC Radio 5 Live.[184]

Page made his boxing debut on 20 October 2017 at Hayemaker Ringstar Fight Night against Jonathan Castano as the co-main event.[185] He won via technical knockout in the third round.[186] He was supposed to debut on the undercard of Haye vs. Bellew but was still negotiating with Bellator at the time.[181]

Page wanted to fight at Hayemaker Ringstar Fight Night 2 on 16 February 2018 but Bellator wanted an MMA fight scheduled before allowing him to commit to another boxing fight.[187][188]

He was expected to fight on the undercard of Haye vs. Bellew II but Bellator prevented him from competing due to its proximity to Bellator 200.[189][190]

Page fought at Hayemaker Ringstar Fight Night 3 against Michal Ciach on 15 June 2018.[191] He won by knockout in the second round.[192]

Bare-knuckle boxing

In June 2022, it was announced that Page would make his bare-knuckle boxing debut for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. He fought Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Mike Perry on 20 August 2022 in the main event at Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 27: London.[193] Page lost by majority decision after the sixth round after the bout was declared a split draw decision following the first five rounds.[194]

Fighting style

Page describes his discipline as a "hands down kickboxing style" created from a "mishmash" of taekwondo, karate, and kung fu styles competing under a points scoring ruleset.[195][196][197] As a low-volume movement-based fighter his game plan revolves around controlling distance and landing heavy counterstrikes with high accuracy.[198][199] He relies on his elusive movement and knockout power to finish opponents and often engages in histrionics while fighting to maintain focus, unnerve his opponents, and rile up the crowd.[12][200][201] Page credited his parents, as well as Simon Lewis, and Marvin Francis as being the most influential in his combat sports career.[53][67]

Personal life

Page received the moniker "Venom" from fellow kickboxer Marvin Francis in homage of the film Five Deadly Venoms.[39][202]

He became a Pollo-pescetarian in August 2017.[203][204]
