Page is recognised in the MMA community for his unorthodox fighting style, which originated from freestyle kickboxing (points fighting) and sport karate.[8][9] He has also competed professionally as a kickboxer, boxer and bare-knuckle boxer.
Early life
Page was born in St Mary's Hospital, London to Curtis Page Sr. and Pauline Reece, who were both Lau Gar kung fu practitioners.[10] His father, a British Telecom employee, hailed from Trinidad while his mother, a nurse, was from Jamaica.[5][6][11][12] Page is a maternal nephew of Lau Gar Master Stan Brown, who was also the instructor of his father.[13][14] He has nine siblings, three of whom are adopted.[15] Page attended Quintin Kynaston School in St John's Wood, alongside Olympian judoka Ashley McKenzie.[16][17] He grew up in NW8 near Edgware Road and Lisson Green before moving to W10 near Queen's Park in 2003.[13][16][18] Since almost everyone in his family was involved in martial arts, he felt it was natural to follow suit.[19][20]
Growing up, Page was inspired by martial arts films, particularly those of Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Lee, and Sammo Hung.[21][22]
Kickboxing career
Summarize
Perspective
His father, Curtis Page Sr. was his instructor.[19][23] Of his nine siblings, his sister Sefena and brothers Curtis Jr., Jamie, and Kalon are also kickboxing champions.[citation needed]
Page began training in Lau Gar at the age of three and competed at his first kickboxing tournament at the age of five.[24][25][26] By the age of eight, he began to devote himself to competition and entered his first international tournament in Germany.[14][27]
Page won ten world championships in kickboxing – his first was at the US Open ISKA World Martial Arts Championships 1998[28] in Orlando, Florida[14] when he was 12 years old[29] – and was crowned British champion over 25 times.[30] By the age of 13, Page started entering adult competitions.[14][20][31] To prepare, he would train five hours a day for five days a week.[32] During tournament days he would often fight up to 14 times due to competing in three weight classes, and at one point fought 22 times in a day across five weight classes.[33] Another world title win was at the W.A.K.O. World Championships 2007 (Coimbra) where, at the −89 kg semi-contact division, he won gold after defeating Dave Heffernan.[34][35] He also competed at the W.A.K.O. Austrian Classics Worldcup 2008 (Kufstein), winning gold in the −84 kg semi-contact division over Krisztián Jároszkievicz.[36][37] Page participated at the W.A.K.O. Irish Open 2008 (Dublin), earning silver in the −84 kg semi-contact division after falling short to Raymond Daniels.[38] Page then won gold at the W.A.K.O. Austrian Classics Worldcup 2009 (Walchsee), placing first in both the −84 kg light-contact and semi-contact divisions, defeating Bojan Miskovic and Zvonimir Gribl, respectively.[39][40] Page returned to participate in the W.A.K.O. Irish Open 2009 (Dublin) but was defeated by Raymond Daniels, placing second in the −84 kg semi-contact division.[41] Page – appointed as the WKA Head Coach[42] – led a team to the WKA World Championships 2009 (Huelva), defeating James Benjamin Stewart to claim gold in the organisation's first semi-contact prize competition[43] and bronze in the −90 kg light-contact division, upon being bested by Tarek Haydar.[3][4] He then participated in the W.A.K.O. World Championships 2009 (Lignano Sabbiadoro) and finished second in the −84 kg semi-contact division, after being defeated by Krisztián Jároszkievicz.[44] On 4 September 2010, he competed at the World Combat Games 2010 (Beijing) in the −84 kg semi-contact division, where he earned silver, losing gold to Krisztián Jároszkievicz.[45][46] Page fought Raymond Daniels at the W.A.K.O. Irish Open 2011 (Dublin), securing silver in the −84 kg semi-contact division.[9]
Page was scouted by the Great Britain Taekwondo team to train and qualify for the Olympics but turned it down to pursue a professional combat sports career winning a professional kickboxing fight and continuing his journey in mixed martial arts.[47]
When not competing Page trains others in kickboxing, primarily as an instructor at the Hands Down Martial Arts Academies throughout Surrey.[48]
Mixed martial arts career
Summarize
Perspective
Background
Dissatisfied with the lack of exposure[49] as well as the politics[50] involved in competing among various kickboxing associations, Page decided to cross over into mixed martial arts.[51][52] He initially considered going to American Top Team[53] during his transition into MMA since his older siblings live in Miami[19] but chose to start his career with London Shootfighters[54] in July 2011.[55] Page spends up to seven hours training in the gym, and does not undergo IV therapy after cutting weight.[56][57] He cross-trains Brazilian jiu-jitsu at Gracie Barra.[58] Page is represented by Paradigm Sports Management.[59][60]
UCMMA
Page made his MMA debut at UCMMA 26 against Ben Dishman on 4 February 2012 and won via technical knockout from a first round tornado kick.[61] His original opponent Sam Boo withdrew a day before the fight.[62][63] The fight went viral and comparisons were drawn between Page and Anderson Silva.[64][65][66] He was paid £200 for the bout.[67]
On 7 April 2012, Page faced Miguel Bernard at UCMMA 27 in a 176 lb catchweight bout despite weighing in at 165 lb.[68] Page won in the first round after forcing Bernard to tap out upon transitioning from a triangle choke into an armbar.[69]
Page briefly returned to kickboxing when he fought in a UK-1 bout on 18 August 2012 at UCMMA 29. Page was supposed to challenge UCMMA UK-1 welterweight champion Peter Irving for the belt.[70][71] However, Irving pulled out of the fight due to a neck injury[13] and was replaced by Jefferson George after another three opponents dropped out within a month for undisclosed reasons.[72][73] Page won after knocking out George from a two punch combination in the second round.[74]
Super Fight League
On 24 June 2012, Super Fight League announced that they signed Michael Page[75] to an exclusive 18-month, four-fight contract.[76]
Page made his promotional debut on 2 November 2012 at SFL 7 as the main event against Haitham El-Sayed, winning by technical knockout in round one via doctor stoppage due to cuts.[77]
Page returned to Super Fight League on 12 April 2013 to face Ramdan Mohamed at SFL 15 as the main event and won via rear-naked choke in the first round.[78]

2015
Page was expected to face Curtis Millender at Bellator 134.[101] However, Page pulled out of the fight due to a cut over his left eye which was sustained during a guard passing drill[102] and required six stitches.[103] He was replaced by Brennan Ward.[104]

Page fought Charlie Ontiveros at Bellator 144 on 23 October 2015 with less than three weeks' notice after four opponents – including his initial opponent Marius Žaromskis[107] and later Cristiano Souza[108] – pulled out of the fight for undisclosed reasons.[109] Page won via verbal submission due to elbows in the first round after dislocating Ontiveros' jaw.[110][111][112]
2016
He was expected to fight Fernando Gonzalez at Bellator 151 as the co-main event[113] but withdrew from the bout as he was already committed to officiate at the W.A.K.O. Irish Open 2016 (Dublin)[114] as coach of the Top Ten UK team.[115] He was replaced by Gilbert Smith.[116]
Page defeated Jeremie Holloway at Bellator 153 on 22 April 2016, submitting him with an Estima lock in round one.[117][118][119]
Page's fight with Fernando Gonzalez was rescheduled[120] for Bellator 158 on 16 July 2016 but visa issues forced Gonzalez to withdraw.[121] Page accepted a contract to fight Paul Daley after Josh Koscheck withdrew but Daley chose to fight Douglas Lima instead.[122] Page fought Evangelista Santos[citation needed] and won by knocking out Santos with a flying knee in the second round.[123] Santos underwent surgery afterwards due to a depressed frontal sinus fracture.[124] The fight went viral partly due to the Pokémon Go-inspired post-fight celebration.[125]
In July 2016, Bellator claimed that Page re-signed[126] with the promotion and had four fights left on his contract.[127] However, Page stated that he did not re-sign but had two fights left from existing contractual provisions.[128]

Page fought David Rickels on 25 May 2018 at Bellator 200 as the co-main event.[141] He won the fight via verbal submission due to a punch in the second round that opened a cut above Rickels' left eye.[142][143] He spent a portion of his training camp at Straight Blast Gym - Ireland in preparation for the fight.[144] He paid tribute to his cousin Helena Ramsay, a victim of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, during the open workout and post-fight interview.[145][146]

Boxing career
Summarize
Perspective
On 12 July 2017, it was announced that Page signed a three-year, fifteen-fight contract[183] with Hayemaker Ringstar, a promotional joint venture of David Haye and Richard Schaefer.[184] Page began training under the tutelage of Ismael Salas at Hayemaker HQ on 27 July 2017,[185] alongside Joe Joyce, Qais Ashfaq, and Willy Hutchinson.[186] While he still trains at London Shootfighters, he spends four days a week training at Hayemaker HQ.[187][188] Page compared the transition from MMA to boxing to a "sprinter turning into a long distance runner."[189] He did commentary for Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor in Las Vegas with Mike Costello and Steve Bunce on BBC Radio 5 Live.[190]
Page made his boxing debut on 20 October 2017 at Hayemaker Ringstar Fight Night against Jonathan Castano as the co-main event.[191] He won via technical knockout in the third round.[192] He was supposed to debut on the undercard of Haye vs. Bellew but was still negotiating with Bellator at the time.[187]
Page wanted to fight at Hayemaker Ringstar Fight Night 2 on 16 February 2018 but Bellator wanted an MMA fight scheduled before allowing him to commit to another boxing fight.[193][194]
He was expected to fight on the undercard of Haye vs. Bellew II but Bellator prevented him from competing due to its proximity to Bellator 200.[195][196]
Page fought at Hayemaker Ringstar Fight Night 3 against Michal Ciach on 15 June 2018.[197] He won by knockout in the second round.[198]

Professional grappling career
Page faced Carlos Condit in the main event of Polaris 30 on November 2, 2024.[201] He won the match by decision.[202]
Fighting style
Page describes his discipline as a "hands down kickboxing style" created from a "mishmash" of taekwondo, karate, and kung fu styles competing under a points scoring ruleset.[203][204][205] As a low-volume movement-based fighter his game plan revolves around controlling distance and landing heavy counterstrikes with high accuracy.[206][207] He relies on his elusive movement and knockout power to finish opponents and often engages in histrionics while fighting to maintain focus, unnerve his opponents, and rile up the crowd.[13][208][209] Page credited his parents, as well as Simon Lewis, and Marvin Francis as being the most influential in his combat sports career.[56][70]
Personal life
Page received the moniker "Venom" from fellow kickboxer Marvin Francis in homage of the film Five Deadly Venoms.[42][210]
Page is a supporter of Manchester United F.C.[211]
He became a Pollo-pescetarian in August 2017.[212][213]
