Michael 'Venom' Page has found a new home. reports that neither a date nor an opponent has been confirmed yet for his promotional debut.

He fought out his UFC contract at UFC Paris in September, closing his run there with a unanimous decision win over Nursulton Ruziboev. Our own tracker has Ruziboev rated at 1570 Elo across seven bouts, and that loss to Michael Page by unanimous decision on September 5, 2026 is his most recent result on record.

notes that Page's only defeat inside the UFC came against Ian Machado Garry, which makes his 5-1 stretch in the promotion look even better in hindsight. Overall he carries a 26-3 record into this next chapter of his career.

For Page, the jump to Misfits Boxing puts him in the same orbit as other MMA names who have been testing the crossover boxing space. It is a notable departure for a fighter who built his reputation on highlight reel knockouts and unorthodox striking inside the cage, and now takes that style into the boxing ring full time. With no opponent or date locked in, the next real test will be who Misfits lines up across from him, and how soon.
