Dana White Confirms Michael Page's UFC Exit

Published 10 September 2026

UFC President Dana White has confirmed that fighter Michael Page will not be re-signed by the promotion following his most recent bout. Page's final fight on his contract was a unanimous decision victory over Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC Paris last weekend. White stated that the promotion does not intend to offer Page a new deal. Speculation about Page's departure intensified after the fight, with reports indicating he was removed from UFC rankings eligibility. White addressed the situation during a press conference, clarifying that Page's bout against Ruziboev was the last on his contract and that he would not be re-signed. He also noted that Page was no longer on the roster, explaining his removal from rankings. Page concluded his UFC tenure with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss. His sole defeat within the promotion came via decision against Ian Machado Garry. Throughout his time with the UFC, Page competed in both the welterweight and middleweight divisions, fighting three times in each. Despite securing wins, his performances were often characterized by a lack of finishes, a point that drew criticism.
