Israel Adesanya Backs Michael Page, but the Data Defines His Post-UFC Value

Michael Page is leaving the UFC with an unusual résumé: five wins in six appearances, no finishes and no clear next fight.

MMA Mania reported that Page completed his six-fight UFC contract, the promotion declined to re-sign him and Israel Adesanya argued that the UFC had mishandled the situation. The report also said Page was removed from the rankings after his final bout; PropBetEdge’s last pre-exit snapshot had him at No. 15 at middleweight as of Sept. 6.

The contractual change matters to bettors, but not because it creates an immediate wager. There is no linked bout or available market. Page’s next promotion, opponent and competitive format are also unknown, each of which could alter the relevance of his UFC numbers.

What the completed run does provide is a defined baseline. Page went 5-1 across six UFC fights, with every result reaching the scorecards. He won all five victories by decision, suffered his only loss by decision and was never finished.

Page won through efficiency, not sustained volume

Page’s UFC production explains the tension between his record and the promotion’s reported response.

He lands 2.28 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 1.51. That is not a high-output profile. His advantages come from accuracy and defensive management: a 58% career significant-strike accuracy rate and 62% striking defence.

The round-level sample covers all six archived bouts and 18 rounds. Page landed 173 significant strikes with 55% accuracy across 18 tracked rounds. His target distribution was 109 to the head, 37 to the body and 27 to the legs.
