During a recent evening in London, Michael ‘Venom’ Page staged a triumphant return at the Polaris 30 event. The highly-skilled pugilist had been handed a loss at UFC 303 where his opponent, Ian Machado Garry, proved dominant on the mat. As Page prepared for his subsequent appearance inside the octagon, he opted to take part in his hometown’s own Polaris Grappling exhibition.
The opponent he squared off against during this contest was none other than the former acting welterweight chief, Carlos Condit. The pairs’ ten-minute duel consisted of numerous attempts at submissions. The competitors twisted and tangled on the canvas; an intense battle culminated in Condit seizing the superior position before they both settled into a 50-50 guard.
Yet the bout was far from concluded. Back on their feet, Page executed a takedown, which inadvertently catapulted Condit into the illuminated surroundings, leading to a minor interruption in the duel as mere seconds remained. As the clash came to a close and the judges’ points were tallied, it was Page who stood as the victor.
Despite Condit’s proven combat history that boasts of 13 victorious submission bouts, Page held his ground compellingly, managing to take his opponent through the entire length of the match. In the end, it was Page who clinched a victory based on points. This marked a victorious turn for Page who since his unanimous decision loss against Ian Machado Garry at UFC 303, has remained in the fighting sphere.
Showing perseverance, Page newly triumphed in his first grappling match against none other than Carlos Condit. Now, as a contender in the UFC welterweight category, Page seems enthusiastic about rising to the 185 lbs category. The upcoming year, 2025, appears to be exhilarating for this fighter with significant face-offs lined up.
During an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, Michael ‘Venom’ page showed he wasn’t hesitant to challenge potential opponents, pointing towards the up-and-coming middleweight sensation, Shara ‘Bullet’ Magomedov. Yet, the details of Page’s following duel remain shrouded in uncertainty.
The fans of the on-his-way-to-become-a-legend fighter are filled with anticipation for his re-entry into the octagon. They are hoping not just for his return, but a triumphant one that will add another victory to his tally. The spotlight is on the welterweight champion as he is poised to return in 2025.
