Michael Jerome Reece-Page[2][3] (born 7 April 1987),[4] better known as Michael "Venom" Page, is an English kickboxer, karateka, super middleweight boxer, and welterweight mixed martial artist of Trinidadian and Jamaican descent.[5][6] He is recognised in the MMA community for his unorthodox fighting style which originated from freestyle kickboxing (points fighting) and sport karate.[7][8]
Early life
Page was born in St Mary's Hospital, London to Curtis Page Sr. and Pauline Reece, who were both Lau Gar kung fu practitioners.[9] His father hailed from Trinidad while his mother, a nurse, was from Jamaica.[5][6][10] Page is a maternal nephew of Lau Gar Master Stan Brown, who was also the instructor of his father.[11][12] He has nine siblings, three of whom are adopted.[13] Page attended Quintin Kynaston School in St John's Wood, alongside Olympian judoka Ashley McKenzie.[14][15] He grew up in NW8 near Edgware Road and Lisson Green before moving to W10 near Queen's Park in 2003.[11][14][16]
Kickboxing career
His father Master Curtis Page Sr. – a three-time kickboxing world champion – was his instructor.[17][18] Of his nine siblings, his sister Sefena and brothers Curtis Jr., Jamie, and Kalon are also kickboxing world champions.[5][19][20][21] Since almost everyone in his family were involved in martial arts, he felt it was natural to follow suit.[17][22]
Page began training in Lau Gar at the age of 3 and competed at his first kickboxing tournament at the age of 5.[23][24][25] By the age of 8, he began to devote himself to competition and entered his first international tournament in Germany.[12][26]
Page won ten world championships in kickboxing – his first was at the US Open ISKA World Martial Arts Championships 1998[27] in Orlando, Florida[12] when he was 12 years old[28] – and was crowned British champion over twenty-five times.[4] By the age of 13, Page started entering adult competitions.[12][22][29] To prepare, he would train five hours a day for five days a week.[30] During tournament days he would often fight up to fourteen times due to competing in three weight classes, and at one point fought twenty-two times in a day across five weight classes.[31] Another world title win was at the W.A.K.O. World Championships 2007 (Coimbra) where, at the −89 kg semi-contact division, he won the gold medal after defeating Dave Heffernan.[32][33] He also competed at the W.A.K.O. Austrian Classics Worldcup 2008 (Kufstein), winning gold in the −84 kg semi-contact division over Krisztián Jároszkievicz.[34][35] Page returned the following year to win gold at the W.A.K.O. Austrian Classics Worldcup 2009 (Walchsee), placing first in both the −84 kg light-contact and semi-contact divisions, defeating Bojan Miskovic and Zvonimir Gribl respectively.[36][37] Page – appointed as the WKA Head Coach[38] – led a team to the WKA World Championships 2009 (Huelva), defeating Ben Stewart to claim gold in the organization's first semi-contact prize competition[39] and bronze in the −90 kg light-contact division, upon being bested by Tarek Haydar.[2][3] He then participated in the W.A.K.O. World Championships 2009 (Lignano Sabbiadoro) and finished second in the −84 kg semi-contact division, after being defeated by Krisztián Jároszkievicz.[40] On 4 September 2010, he competed at the World Combat Games 2010 (Beijing) in the −89 kg semi-contact division, where he won silver, losing out on gold to the division winner Krisztián Jároszkievicz.[41][42]
Page was scouted by the Great Britain Taekwondo team to train for the Olympics but turned it down to pursue a professional combat sports career.[43]
When not competing Page trains others in kickboxing, primarily as an instructor at the Great Britain Martial Arts Academies throughout Surrey which also hosts the Hands Down Interclub tournament.[44][45][46]
Mixed martial arts career
Background
Dissatisfied with the lack of exposure[47] as well as the politics[48] involved in competing among various kickboxing associations, Page decided to cross over into mixed martial arts.[49][50] He initially considered going to American Top Team[51] during his transition into MMA since his older siblings live in Miami[17] but chose to start his career with London Shootfighters[52] in July 2011,[53] training with the likes of John Hathaway, Cláudio da Silva, Karlos Vemola,[54] Alex Reid,[55] Marcin Held,[56] Jim Wallhead,[57] and Marc Diakiese.[58] Page also sparred with Alexander Gustafsson,[59] James DeGale,[60] Che Mills,[61] Chris Eubank, Jr.,[60] Frank Muñoz,[62] Dereck Chisora, Muhammed Lawal,[63] and Andrew Tate.[64] He entertained the possibility of fighting at lightweight.[65] Page spends up to seven hours training in the gym, and does not undergo IV therapy after cutting weight.[66][67]
UCMMA
Page made his MMA debut at UCMMA 26 against Ben Dishman on 4 February 2012 and won via technical knockout from a first round tornado kick.[68] His original opponent Sam Boo withdrew a week before the fight.[69][70] The fight went viral which drew comparisons between Page and Anderson Silva.[71][72][73] He was paid £200 for the bout.[74]
On 7 April 2012, Page faced Miguel Bernard at UCMMA 27 in a 176 lb catchweight bout despite weighing in at 165 lb.[75] Page won in the first round after forcing Bernard to tap out upon transitioning from a triangle choke into an armbar.[76]
Page briefly returned to kickboxing when he fought in a UK-1 bout on 18 August 2012 at UCMMA 29. Page was supposed to challenge UCMMA UK-1 welterweight champion Peter Irving for the belt.[77][78] However, Irving pulled out of the fight due to a neck injury[11] and was replaced by Jefferson George after another three opponents dropped out within a month for undisclosed reasons.[79][80] Page won after knocking out George from a two punch combination in the second round.[81]
Super Fight League
On 24 June 2012, Super Fight League announced that they signed Michael Page to an exclusive year and a half, four-fight contract.[82][83][84]
Page made his promotional debut on 2 November 2012 at SFL 7 as the main event against Haitham El-Sayed, winning by technical knockout in round one via doctor stoppage due to cuts.[85]
Page returned to Super Fight League on 12 April 2013 to face Ramdan Mohamed at SFL 15 as the main event and won via rear-naked choke in the first round.[86]
Bellator MMA
After winning his UK-1 fight against Jefferson George, Page announced post-fight that he signed a five-fight contract with Bellator MMA, and that he will fight for both Bellator and Super Fight League under their respective contracts.[87][88]
Page was expected to make his promotional debut at Bellator 82 but pulled out of the bout citing surgery for an old jaw injury.[89][90][91] Another potential yet unannounced debut at Bellator 90 against Sean Powers was cancelled for undisclosed reasons.[92]
Page made his debut on 21 March 2013 at Bellator 93.[93] He faced Ryan Sanders and won via knockout at ten seconds into the first round.[94]
Page was scheduled to fight Kenny Ento at Bellator 102[95] but withdrew due to a rib cartilage injury,[96][97] an ankle injury,[98] and a knee injury.[99] A later appearance slated for Bellator 109 against Andrew Osborne was also cancelled because of lingering injuries.[100]
Page was slated to fight Fight Master: Bellator MMA contestant Marcus Aurelio at Bellator 120 on 17 May 2014 but Aurelio withdrew due to injury.[54][101] Ricky Rainey was immediately sought as a replacement after his Bellator 116 victory[102] and was informed of his opponent a week later.[103] Page won via technical knockout in the first round.[104]
Page next faced Nah-Shon Burrell at Bellator 128 as the co-main event on 10 October 2014.[105] He won via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27).[106] His performance elicited praise from Anderson Silva.[107]
On 19 December 2014, Michael Page confirmed that he was no longer contracted with Super Fight League and instead signed an exclusive two year, five-fight contract extension with Bellator.[13][108]
Page was expected to face Curtis Millender at Bellator 134 on 27 February 2015.[109] However, Page pulled out of the fight due to a cut over his left eye which was sustained during a guard passing drill[110] and required six stitches.[111] He was replaced by Brennan Ward.[112]
Page faced Rudy Bears at Bellator 140 on 17 July 2015.[113] He won by knockout in the first round.[114]
Page fought Charlie Ontiveros at Bellator 144 on 23 October 2015 with less than three weeks' notice after four opponents – including his initial opponent Marius Žaromskis[115] and later Cristiano Souza[116] – pulled out of the fight for undisclosed reasons.[117] Page won via verbal submission due to elbows in the first round after dislocating Ontiveros' jaw.[118][119][120]
He was expected to fight Fernando Gonzalez on 4 March 2016 at Bellator 151 as the co-main event[121] but withdrew from the bout as he was already committed to officiate at the W.A.K.O. Irish Open 2016 (Dublin)[122] as coach of the Top Ten UK team.[123] He was replaced by Gilbert Smith.[124]
Page defeated Jeremie Holloway at Bellator 153 on 22 April 2016, submitting him with an inverted toe hold in round one.[125][126][127]
Page's fight with Fernando Gonzalez was rescheduled[128] for Bellator 158 on 16 July 2016 but after visa issues forced Gonzalez to withdraw[129] Page instead fought Evangelista Santos.[130] He won by knocking out Santos with a flying knee in the second round.[131] Santos underwent surgery afterwards due to a depressed frontal sinus fracture.[132] The fight went viral partly due to the Pokémon Go-inspired post-fight celebration.[133][134] Lennox Lewis was impressed by Page's performance.[135]
On July 2016, Bellator claimed that Page re-signed[136] with the promotion and had four fights left on his contract.[137] However, Page stated that he did not re-sign but had two fights left from existing contractual provisions.[138]
Page fought Fernando Gonzalez on 19 November 2016 at Bellator 165 as the co-main event.[139] He won the fight via split decision (29-28, 27-30, 29-28).[140]
A proposed bout between Page and Paul Daley was targeted for Bellator 179 but negotiations fell through after Daley refused the fight.[141] Page was supposed to fight Derek Anderson[142] but an old knee injury[143][144] and neck injury forced him off the card.[145] Daley attempted to brawl with Page after losing his fight.[146] Another fight with Daley was proposed for September 2017 in London but was turned down by Daley, who instead opted to fight Lorenz Larkin at Bellator 183.[147][148]
He has two fights left on his contract.[149]
Page was expected to compete at Bellator 191 but a fight was never announced.[150]
Boxing career
On 12 July 2017, it was announced that Page signed a three year, fifteen-fight contract[151] with Hayemaker Ringstar, a promotional joint venture of David Haye and Richard Schaefer.[152] Page began training under the tutelage of Ismael Salas at Hayemaker HQ on 27 July 2017,[153] alongside Joe Joyce, Qais Ashfaq, and Willy Hutchinson.[154] While he still trains at London Shootfighters, he spends four days a week training at Hayemaker HQ.[155] Page compared the transition from MMA to boxing to a "sprinter turning into a long distance runner."[156] He did commentary for Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor in Las Vegas with Mike Costello and Steve Bunce on BBC Radio 5 Live.[157]
Page made his boxing debut on 20 October 2017 at Hayemaker Ringstar Fight Night against Jonathan Castano as the co-main event.[158] He won via technical knockout in the third round.[159] He was supposed to debut on the undercard of Haye vs. Bellew but was still negotiating with Bellator at the time.[155]
He was scheduled to fight on 17 December 2017 in the undercard of Haye vs. Bellew II at The O2 Arena but will instead compete on 5 May 2018, after the event was postponed due to Haye suffering a bicep injury.[160][161]
Fighting style
Page describes his discipline as a "hands down kickboxing style" created from a "mishmash" of taekwondo, karate, and kung fu styles competing under a points scoring ruleset.[162][163][164] As a movement-based fighter his game plan revolves around controlling distance.[165][166] He engages in histrionics while fighting to maintain focus, unnerve his opponents, and rile up the crowd.[11][167][168]
