Michael Page vs Nursulton Ruziboev Prediction 5 September 2026

39-year-old British fighter Michael Page has a professional record of 25 wins and 3 losses. His style is built around karate, constant changes of distance, high speed and counterattacks with his hands low. Page has been in good form in his recent outings, winning three consecutive fights by unanimous decision against Sam Patterson, Jared Cannonier and Shara Magomedov.

32-year-old Nursulton Ruziboev from Uzbekistan has a professional record of 37 wins, 9 losses and 2 draws. He is a large and versatile fighter who poses a serious threat in grappling and possesses knockout power, allowing him to seek stoppages. In his recent fights, Ruziboev defeated Andrey Pulyaev by submission and also won unanimous decisions over Dustin Stoltzfus and Eric McConico.

Ruziboev has the advantage in size and represents a serious threat on the ground, but Page is noticeably better in terms of speed, timing and footwork. This should allow the Brit to move away from the line of attack and make the Uzbek fighter miss. If Michael can avoid clinches and stay away from grappling early in the fight, he will be able to control the distance, outstrike Ruziboev and secure the victory.
