Michael Page - Nursultan Ruziboev: betting tip (cf 2.26) and bets on the fight

Current form

Michael Page has already managed to hold five fights under the UFC banner and has recorded four wins to his credit. The only failure of the Englishman was the defeat of Ian Machado Harry. At the same time, that fight turned out to be extremely competitive, and the further development of Machado Harry's career only confirms that Page faced a very serious opponent.

After that, Michael returned to the winning track and successively dealt with Kevin Holland, Shari Magomedova, Jared Cannoner and Sam Patterson. In all four cases, the judges recorded the victory of the Englishman on points. It would seem that there are no knockouts, but here lies the specificity of the Page. He doesn't seek to turn every fight into a reckless firefight. His task is much more subtle: to control the space, read the opponent's actions and strike when the opponent finds himself in an uncomfortable position.

Page's last fight was in March 2026 against Sam Patterson. The Englishman again acted prudently and took the victory by unanimous decision of the judges. It was not easy for Patterson to hit the opponent who was constantly changing the distance, and Page gradually forced him to make mistakes. The 39-year-old Page has 25 wins and three losses as a professional. He ended fights by knockout 13 times, won nine more victories by decision of the judges and forced his opponents to give up three times. The Englishman ranks 15th in the UFC middleweight category.

Paige is far from a typical representative of modern MMA. His foundation was freestyle kickboxing with elements of sports karate, thanks to which he got used to working from a distance, constantly changing angles of attack and using non-standard movements. Michael's unusual fighting style earned him the nickname Venom, and it really describes his style well. In addition, Paige holds a black belt in kung fu.

Nursultan Ruziboev approaches this confrontation with a completely different set of qualities. The Uzbek fighter is distinguished by impressive size, physical strength and is especially dangerous when he manages to transfer an opponent to the stalls. At the same time, recently Ruziboev has finally gained a foothold in the middleweight category, where he moved after performing in the welterweight division.

Nursulton was defeated by Joaquin Buckley by unanimous decision last year. However, after this defeat, he managed to rebuild and issued a series of three victories in the middleweight division. First, Ruziboev stopped Eric Mcconico with a technical knockout in the second round, then quickly dealt with Andrey Pulyaev, ending the fight with a technical submission in the first round. In the last fight, the Uzbek athlete went the full distance again and defeated Dustin Stoltzfus by decision of the judges.

The 32-year-old Ruziboev has 37 wins and nine losses. He won 15 victories by knockout, two by decision of the judges, and 20 more times forced his rivals to give up. Moreover, it is wrestling and jiu-jitsu that remain one of the main trump cards of the Uzbek fighter. Ruziboev is a former champion of the Asian Fighting Championship Akhmat, World Ertaymash Federation, World Fighting Championship Akhmat and Open Fighting Championship. He has a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and among his achievements are the Uzbek championship titles in jiu-jitsu and grappling. He also practiced karate.
