Magomedov's Star Continues to Rise
At UFC 308, Magomedov faced the toughest challenge of his career. Despite a strong start by Petrosyan, who landed some solid shots, Magomedov’s poise and technique shone through. By the second round, Magomedov was in control, setting up a jaw-dropping finish that left fans in awe—a perfectly executed double spinning backfist that sent Petrosyan crashing to the mat. Now 4-0 in the UFC and sitting at #14 in the middleweight rankings, Magomedov made a bold statement, calling himself the best striker in the division and issuing a challenge to former champion Israel Adesanya. While a fight with Adesanya might be a long shot, it was enough to capture the attention of another elite striker, Michael “Venom” Page.
MVP Eyes Shara Bullet
Speaking to Ariel Helwani, Page expressed serious interest in testing his skills against Magomedov. Page, currently ranked 13th in the UFC’s welterweight division, has long been known for his creative, unpredictable striking style, and he sees Magomedov as the perfect dance partner. Though he’s preparing for a grappling match against Carlos Condit, the idea of moving up to middleweight to take on a fellow striker has Page intrigued.
“I’d love to make that fight happen,” Page said in his interview with Helwani. "It’s the kind of matchup that fans would love—two unorthodox strikers willing to leave it all in the octagon.”
Why Magomedov vs. Page is a Must-See Fight
A matchup between Magomedov and Page would bring the UFC a captivating showdown of world-class strikers. Magomedov has proven himself to be one of the most exciting up-and-comers in the middleweight division, and a fight against a showman like Page would give him the exposure he needs to continue his meteoric rise.
For Page, this move could reignite his momentum with a fresh and intriguing challenge. Both fighters bring high energy, flashy striking, and the potential for a highlight-reel finish, making this a fan-favorite showdown waiting to happen.
If the UFC wants to capitalize on the momentum of both fighters, putting Shara Magomedov and Michael “Venom” Page in the octagon together might just be the perfect next step. The stage is set for a middleweight matchup that could redefine both fighters’ careers—and captivate the UFC fanbase in the process.
