Michael ‘Venom’ Page isn’t content to sit idly by in 2025.

The Englishman, 37, scored his second UFC win (23-3 overall) with a comprehensive (middleweight) decision win over Sharabutdin Magomedov (better known as Shara Bullet) at the organisation’s event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, successfully rebounded from his loss to Ian Machado Garry this past June.

But the London Shootfighters star isn’t content with sitting on the sidelines and wants to get back in the cage as soon as possible — potentially, he says, at the UFC’s fight card in London next month.

“If they were to give me a fight on the London card, I don’t think I’d get the chance unless they go ‘oh look, we’ve got a fight for you’ and it was at middleweight because that makes it easier, I’ll probably do that,” Page said to The Mirror about the possibility of fighting on the March 22 card in London’s O2 Arena.

“The following month, in Miami, I’m actually looking for. It gives me a little bit more time to cut down and get back down to welterweight. So, I’m probably hoping to get back on that show.”

“I’d probably say April, July, October,” MVP added of his ideal schedule for 2025. “That’d be an exceptional year for me. The thing is, I came up against an explosive striker, I didn’t get touched in the face at all. So, because of my style, I’m fortunate with my style to be able to keep going back and forth from fight to fight to fight. As long as, touch wood, everything goes according to plan each time and I’m not busted up, then 100 percent I’d want to get straight back in, that’s where I’m happiest.”

So that’s the when, how about the who?

“I kind of leave that to the coaches and the matchmakers at the UFC to throw names and do it. I can’t think of anybody. Everyone that I want to fight is higher ranked or at the top,” he chuckled. “So, it’s more just any good fight that gets me back in the good rankings. I want to try and get top 10.

“I feel like my fight at middleweight hopefully gives me some brownie points to get a top 10 fight at welterweight.”
