Michael Page reveals 'crazy' Misfits deal pays at least $3 million — more than entire UFC run combined

Michael Page has made a high-profile leap from the UFC to Misfits Boxing, securing a multi-fight deal worth at least $3 million—a sum surpassing his entire earnings during his five-fight UFC tenure. The 39-year-old welterweight, who went 5-1 in the Octagon after joining in 2024, will now compete exclusively for Misfits over the next 18 months, with flexibility to participate in events like Real American Freestyle wrestling.

Page emphasized the financial and strategic appeal of the deal, noting Misfits’ vision to expand into MMA while offering lucrative seven-figure paydays for each of his three contracted fights, whether in boxing or MMA. His transition reflects broader industry timing challenges, as other promotions like Ki MMA were still developing their rosters when negotiations concluded.

Page’s new contract aligns with his goal of maintaining high fight frequency, though he expressed uncertainty about scheduling another bout before 2027. The deal also opens doors for boxing opportunities, a sport he hasn’t competed in recently, potentially drawing opponents who view him as a safer matchup outside the cage.

With KSI’s involvement and Misfits’ growing ambition in combat sports, Page’s move signals a potential shift in the MMA landscape, positioning him as a key figure in the promotion’s future expansion.
