Michael Page reveals 'crazy' Misfits deal pays at least $3 million — more than entire UFC run combined

Michael "Venom" Page appears to have gotten a massive pay bump now that he's no longer with the UFC.

Michael Page has signed a lucrative deal with Misfits Boxing, securing a multi-fight agreement that pays at least $3 million - more than his entire UFC career combined. The 39-year-old welterweight, who left the UFC in September 2024, will be exclusive to Misfits for 18 months, with the option to compete in Real American Freestyle (RAF) wrestling matches as well.

Page expressed satisfaction with the deal, noting the financial benefits and the potential to attract other fighters to Misfits. While he remains committed to MMA, he also sees boxing as a possibility, depending on the opportunities and opponents available. Page highlighted notable names like Darren Till, Tommy Fury, Nate Diaz, and Tony Ferguson as potential opponents, but emphasized that his immediate focus remains on Misfits.

He also expressed concerns about the current state of the UFC, suggesting that the promotion has shifted away from emphasizing the best martial artists in favor of catering to casual viewers.
