Jake Paul wants Michael Page following UFC exit: 'Bring MVP to MVP'

Michael Page's six-fight UFC contract concluded with a unanimous-decision victory over Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC Paris on September 5, ending his tenure with a 5-1 record but no championship opportunity in sight. Despite the strong record, the UFC declined to extend Page's deal, citing his inability to secure finishes and consistently low output—a criticism that plagued his entire run in the organization. Page's fights frequently drew harsh fan and media backlash for their lack of engagement, and his latest outing against Ruziboev exemplified the pattern: another decision victory with minimal offensive output. Jake Paul, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions, seized on Page's free agency with a playful social media pitch: "Think it's time to bring MVP to MVP." Page has expressed personal frustration with his inability to finish opponents in the UFC, and his options now extend beyond MVP. Bare-Knuckle Boxing Championship president Dave Feldman has also expressed interest in signing the Englishman, offering Page a platform that could capitalize on a different ruleset. MVP is actively rebuilding its roster following its merger with the Professional Fighters League and appears eager to add Page's profile, pending negotiations.
