Michael Page Ruled Ineligible For UFC Rankings

Michael Page is no longer eligible for the UFC's official rankings, according to an internal email sent to ranking panelists.

Page joined the UFC in 2023 after a decade in Bellator, going 5-1 in the promotion with wins over Kevin Holland, Sahrabutdin Magomedov, Jared Cannonier, Sam Petterson and, most recently, Nursulton Ruziboev on September 5 — a lackluster performance that drew boos from the Paris crowd and marked the final fight on his current contract. Page acknowledged after the win that he needs to perform better as he heads toward uncertain free agency.

"They [UFC] weren't happy with me before, they're not gonna be happy with me now… if I put myself in their shoes it's like, same thing. 'We can sign him again but are we gonna see much more?'" Page
