Michael “Venom” Page is back, but this time it’s not in the cage.
On Monday, Polaris announced that Page will face former WEC welterweight champion Carlos Condit in a grappling match at its upcoming Polaris 30 event, which takes place on November 2.
A former Bellator standout, Page signed with the UFC in 2023 and made his promotional debut earlier this year, with a unanimous decision win over Kevin Holland at UFC 299. Page then lost a decision to Ian Machado Garry in his sophomore outing at UFC 303 in June. Page was an accomplished kickboxer before making the move to MMA, and also has experience in boxing and bare-knuckle boxing, but this will be his first foray into professional grappling.
A former WEC welterweight champion and UFC interim welterweight champion, Condit is one of the most beloved fighters of the 2010s, and best known for his 2016 Fight of the Year battle with Robbie Lawler that is widely regarded as one of the greatest fights in MMA history. This will be Condit’s return to professional competition since retiring from MMA in 2021.
Polaris 30 takes place on Nov. 2 at Fairfield Halls in London and will be streamed live on UFC Fight Pass.
