British fighter Michael “Venom” Page defeated Sharabutdin Magomedov, who was previously undefeated in MMA, at UFC Saudi Arabia. The victory came by unanimous decision after a closely fought match.
Page, now with a record of 23 wins and 3 losses, received scores of 30-27, 30-27, and 29-28 from the judges, improving his UFC record to 2-1.
Despite the win, Page expressed a desire for greater output in his performance. He mentioned wanting to increase his shot, punch, and kick counts, indicating a need for further refinement in his fighting approach. Page stated he needs to address some hesitation in his technique to achieve his full potential in future fights.
Looking ahead, Page believes a title shot should be a realistic goal within the year. He acknowledges the dynamic nature of the welterweight division and understands that the path to a title opportunity could take one, two, or perhaps three more fights. His current focus is on actively competing and securing as many fights as possible this year to move closer to challenging for the title.
