Michael "Venom" Page and Carlos "The Natural Born Killer" Condit are set to face each other, but this time, it won't be inside the octagon. These two MMA legends will headline Polaris 30 on November 2 in London for a grappling match promising a new side of their skills.
This announcement came directly from Polaris, via Ariel Helwani, on Monday. The matchup is already generating excitement, as fans look forward to seeing these fighters compete outside of their traditional MMA environment.
Michael Page, a UFC welterweight, is widely known for his electric striking and dynamic kicks. His flashy style often steals the show, but for this match, his grappling abilities will be under the spotlight. Despite his lack of submissions, with only three submission victories in 25 MMA fights, Page has never been submitted. His last fight in the UFC ended in a razor-thin decision loss to Ian Machado Garry in June at UFC 303.
Carlos Condit, on the other hand, is coming out of retirement for this match. The former UFC interim welterweight champion and WEC champion hung up his gloves in 2021, but this grappling contest marks his return to combat sports. Condit is no stranger to grappling, with 13 submission wins on his record. However, he also suffered six submission defeats during his career. Fans are eager to see whether his grappling prowess or his vulnerabilities will be on display at Polaris 30.
Page versus Condit offers a unique clash of styles—a striking specialist testing his ground game against a submission veteran. It’s a high-stakes showdown that could surprise even their most devoted fans. As the event draws near, the buzz surrounding this match is sure to grow.
