Michael Page wants to gift UFC a moment – even if it's his final fight
With one fight remaining on his UFC contract, Michael Page plans on making his fight with Nursulton Ruziboev a memorable one.
Paris – With only one fight left on his UFC contract, Michael Page intends to make his bout against Nursulton Ruziboev a defining moment. The middleweight match will take place on Saturday's UFC Fight Night 287 main card at Accor Arena. Page claimed he was not under pressure, as he is satisfied with his career achievements to date.
He expressed gratitude for how far he has come, highlighting his diverse skill set across various martial arts disciplines, including Bare Knuckle, jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, and MMA. Page also revealed that he feels there is unfinished business in his career, which is why he wants to stay in the UFC, despite it not being entirely within his control.
Page's previous fight against Sam Patterson resulted in a unanimous decision win, but he acknowledged that he has yet to deliver the knockout fans have come to expect from him. His goal in the coming fight against Ruziboev is to leave a lasting impression on the UFC, just like he has done in Bellator. Page stated that he wants to gift a moment to the UFC that would be remembered by fans around the world, creating a clip that people will replay time and again.
