Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship president eyes return of Michael Page

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship president Dave Feldman has expressed interest in re-signing Michael Page following the conclusion of his tenure with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Page completed his UFC contract with a unanimous decision victory over Nursulton Ruziboev at UFC Paris. Despite a 5-1 record during his time in the UFC, the promotion opted not to renew his deal, citing a lack of finishes in his bouts. Feldman stated he is waiting to confirm the official status of Page's contract before initiating formal discussions. Page previously competed for the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship in 2022, where he lost to Mike Perry in a majority decision. Feldman noted that the high-paced format of bare-knuckle boxing is better suited to Page's style than his recent performances in the UFC.
