Michael Page’s Return Announced

Michael Page will return to the welterweight division to face Sam Patterson at UFC London on March 21.

The bout will feature on the featherweight title eliminator between Movsar Evloev and Lerone Murphy. Page secured back-to-back unanimous decision victories over Shara Magomedov and Jared Cannonier in 2025 (UFC 319). While MVP proved he could compete at 185 lbs, his team has maintained that his optimal path to a belt remains at 170 lbs.

Page had called for fights against Colby Covington or Stephen Thompson, but with those matchups failing to materialize, he has accepted the challenge of facing Patterson. Patterson is currently on a four-fight first-round finishing streak, most recently stopping Trey Waters in September 2025.

“London is one of the premier fight cities in the world. The fans are passionate, the energy is incredible and the last time we were there we broke the highest-grossing Fight Night record in UFC history. London ALWAYS delivers and I can’t wait to get back,” Dana White said
