Michael “Venom” Page<\/a> believes his move to Misfits Boxing will give him
\ngreater freedom to express himself after his
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> tenure.<\/p>\n

Page signed a multiyear, multifight agreement with MF Sports after
\ngoing 5-1 in the UFC. He concluded his run with a unanimous
\ndecision victory over Nursulton
\nRuziboev<\/a> in September, but the promotion opted not to renew his
\ncontract.<\/p>\n

Michael Page says Misfits Boxing gives him creative freedom
\nafter UFC walkout restrictions and missed big fights<\/h2>\n

Speaking to The Stomping Ground, Page said the agreement came
\ntogether quickly and would allow him to showcase more of his
\npersonality.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be fair, this one happened relatively quickly,\u201d Page said. \u201cWe
\nkind of didn\u2019t know as recently as three or four days back; it
\nstill wasn\u2019t 100% confirmed where we\u2019re going. But yeah, this makes
\nsense. Like I said out there, I feel free of the shackles. I\u2019m a
\nvery creative person \u2014 my walkouts, my entrances, my exits \u2014 and I
\nwasn\u2019t allowed to do that. And I feel like here, they\u2019re literally
\nlike, \u2018Look, we want you to be yourself.\u2019 That\u2019s going to help me
\nbe my best self.\u201d<\/p>\n

While excited about his new deal, the Englishman said he felt
\nrestricted in the UFC and believed he had missed opportunities for
\nhigh-profile fights.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I went in there, and I was Top 10 in two divisions; I was
\ncalling out everybody, wasn\u2019t getting any feedback,\u201d Page added.
\n\u201cAgain, [I] felt very restricted, so it\u2019s a shame because I felt
\nlike there was more fights, big fights that could be had. But here,
\nI feel free. The big fights, the big names that are out there, that
\nare away from other shows, it\u2019s all going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
