Overview
- Page completed the final fight on his UFC contract at UFC Paris on Sept. 5 with a unanimous decision over Nursulton Ruziboev.
- On Monday a leaked internal email to UFC rankings panelists instructed that Page be removed from rankings eligibility, a move reporters tied to his roster status.
- UFC CEO Dana White confirmed on Wednesday that the promotion does not plan to re-sign Page and that removing him from the rankings reflected his roster exit.
- Coverage and fighters cited Page’s conservative, low-output style — he recorded no stoppages in six UFC bouts and drew boos in Paris — as the central reason the promotion declined to keep him.
- Page now enters free agency with immediate outside interest, including a public callout from Derek Brunson, and several rival promoters have been named as plausible landing spots if he continues fighting.
