Israel Adesanya insists UFC got it wrong' while launching staunch defense of Michael Venom' Page

Michael ‘Venom’ Page won five of his six bouts inside the Octagon but was still a casualty in the string of UFC roster removals in 2026.

Page beat Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC Paris in early September, but another lackluster performance that resulted in the crowd booing meant the promotion opted against re-signing the former Bellator title challenger.

Many fans supported the decision from Dana White and co., but Israel Adesanya thinks differently.
