Michael Page has doubled his fight earnings after signing a new three-fight deal with Misfits, the UK-based promotion founded by KSI. The former Bellator title challenger and UFC competitor revealed he is now earning seven figures per bout and that this deal has already surpassed his entire UFC contract in total pay.
Page’s UFC contract ended a few months ago. Despite a 5-1 record inside the octagon and his interest in staying, the UFC chose not to extend a new deal. Instead, Misfits presented him with a lucrative offer that includes more financial reward and flexibility. Speaking to Ariel Helwani, Page described the arrangement as “crazy” and praised both the money and the vision behind Misfits.
“It means I’ve continued to grow and get better financially,” Page said. “Also, KSI is my boy, and I’ve worked alongside the Misfits guys before with some of my teammates who have fought, in corners, my coaches have worked with them as well.” He added that Misfits is aiming to build an MMA platform and sees Page as a figurehead to lead that effort.
Page’s contract covers three fights over an 18-month period, offering him freedom beyond traditional MMA bouts. The deal is exclusive for striking formats but allows him to compete in grappling events elsewhere. He mentioned the arrangements could encompass both MMA and boxing matches.
“I left the UFC and I’m making more money,” Page said. “Like two times more, and in a short period. It’s a three-fight deal, and in this three-fight deal, I’ll make more than I made for my whole UFC contract.”
The Englishman is already considering potential opponents for his Misfits appearances. He named a few notable names from the UK scene and beyond, including former interim UFC welterweight champion Darren Till, who is currently competing in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC). Page sees a clash with Till as appealing in either boxing or MMA.
Page also mentioned Tommy Fury, who is signed to Misfits for boxing bouts, and suggested a fight against him might be possible. He was less enthusiastic about a hypothetical meeting with Tony Ferguson, saying he “doesn’t want to have to beat him up,” but warned Ferguson would be “run over” if he stepped forward. Nate Diaz was another name Page mentioned as a potential opponent if he remains available and willing to fight.
Misfits has been expanding its roster and event schedule since KSI’s transition from YouTube to combat sports promotion. The organisation has attracted several crossover fighters and has ambitions to grow MMA in the UK market. Page’s signing is a notable coup for the promotion, signaling its intent to compete for established talent.
Page’s move highlights ongoing shifts in fight promotions beyond the UFC, where fighters seek deals that offer better pay and more control over their careers. His comments confirm that alternative platforms like Misfits can provide financially attractive options for high-profile fighters.
The latest confirmed detail is that Page is contracted exclusively for striking under Misfits for 18 months, with three fights guaranteed at seven figures each, a sum that doubles his previous UFC earnings across the same number of bouts.
