2 min read

Britain's Michael 'Venom' Page will meet Uzbekistan's Nursulton Ruziboev in a middleweight bout at UFC Paris on 5 September, marking Page's return to the division after a welterweight decision win over Sam Patterson in March. Page, 39, signed with the UFC in 2023 after nine years with Bellator and has won four of five UFC fights, but he has complained about not being booked against higher-profile opponents. Ruziboev, 32, carries a three-fight win streak and sits 15th in the division, though he is not widely known; the card also features Modestas Bukauskas v Oumar Sy and Kurtis Campbell v Trevor Peek, while the headline fight remains unannounced.
