UFC Paris Results: Michael Page defeats Nursulton Ruziboev

We have you covered for all of today's UFC Paris results, including the middleweight bout between Michael Page and Nursulton Ruziboev.

Page (25-3 MMA) will enter the bout on a three-fight winning streak, this after scoring decision victories over Sharabutdin Magomedov, Jared Cannonier and Sam Patterson in his most recent Octagon appearances. Prior to those triumphs, ‘Venom' had suffered a decision loss to recent UFC welterweight title challenger Ian Machado Garry.

Meanwhile, Nursulton Ruziboev (37-9-2 MMA) also currently boasts a three-fight winning streak, with his most recent Octagon victory coming over Andrey Pulyaev via submission this past June. The Uzbekistan native has gone 12-1 over his past thirteen fights overall.

Round one of this UFC Paris middleweight matchup begins and Nursulton Ruziboev immediately shoots in for a takedown attempt and gets it. That took all of five seconds. ‘MVP' looks to secure a buggy choke. Ruziboev ultimately escapes and is now on top and in full control. He lands a nice elbow. No real action for the next 30 seconds or so. Now another elbow. Michael Page looks to scramble but Ruziboev won't allow him to stand back up. ‘Venom' eventually gets up on his feet, but Ruziboev is holding on to a body lock. Page lands some elbows while in the clinch. He eventually breaks free to space but is unable to land anything significant from range before the horn sounds to end the opening round.

Round two begins and Michael Page comes forward with a right hand that partially connects. Nursulton Ruziboev forces the clinch, but MVP quickly breaks free to space. ‘Venom' with a solid low kick. Ruziboev answers with a calf kick. Page throws a body kick, but Ruziboev catches it. The fighters clinch again. Not much for action or any forms of punches. Ruziboev may have landed an uppercut late. Not the fight most fans were hoping for.

The third and final round of this UFC Paris middleweight bout begins and Michael Page lands a solid punch to start. Ruziboev is quickly in on a takedown. He gets it. ‘MVP' is working hard to get back to his feet. He eventually does. Page pressing forward while doing next to nothing. Ruziboev actually doing nothing aside from retreating. The crowd is not happy. This snorefest comes to an end? Possibly the last time fans will see Page in the UFC.

Cris Cyborg wants to ‘save’ UFC 332 with Amanda Nunes revenge fight
Cris
Cyborg has offered the
Ultimate Fighting Championship a solution to its UFC 332
main event problem.

Cyborg took to social media to call for a rematch with former
two-division champion Amanda
Nunes, suggesting the fight could headline the Oct. 3 numbered
event in Salt Lake City, which still doesn't have an announced
headliner. The pair faced off back in 2018, when Nunes won via
first-round KO.

Cris Cyborg calls for Amanda Nunes rematch after UFC 332
headliner uncertainty

A women's flyweight title fight between Valentina
Shevchenko and Natalia
Silva was rumored for UFC 332, but recent reports indicate
Shevchenko has been forced to withdraw. With other UFC champions
having recently fought or already booked for later events, the
promotion appears to be scrambling to find a viable headliner.

Cyborg has offered a solution. The former UFC champ took to X to
call for a rematch with her former foe, Nunes. The latter was
expected to take on Kayla
Harrison earlier this year, but a neck injury to Harrison saw
the matchup fall through.

“[Amanda Nunes] tired of waiting for [Kayla Harrison]?†Cyborg
wrote on X. “Feel like saving an UFC event?â€

They initially squared off at
UFC 232 in December 2018, when Nunes emerged victorious to
become a double champ. “The Lioness†retired in 2023, while Cyborg
most recently competed at
PFL Tampa on Aug. 22, defeating Ketlen
Vieira by unanimous decision in what was expected to be her
final mixed martial arts bout.
