Who is Michael Page?
Michael Jerome Reece-Page is an English mixed martial artist who is currently associated with the UFC. Nicknamed 'Venom' at a young age, Page has always had quick and impactful striking. Perhaps that's why he found much success in boxing, kickboxing, bare-knuckle boxing, as well as MMA.
Now, better known as Michael 'Venom' Page, the fighter comes from a family of mixed-martial artists. He was taken to MMA classes even as he was in a stroller so it was inevitable for him to wear the gloves one day. Now, he's come much farther away from said stroller.
Michael Page’s Early Life
As mentioned earlier, he comes from a background filled with MMA fighters. His parents, Curtis Page Sr and Pauline Reece were practitioners of Lau Gar kung fu. Born on the 7th of April in 1987, Page fought his first kickboxing tournament at the mere age of five. He was raised among 9 siblings and would go on to win his first kickboxing world championship at the age of 12.
Interestingly, he first fought in adult championships at the age of 13 and went on to win 10 championships going forward. In hay-days, Page attended Quintin Kynaston School and grew up in London NW8 near Edgware Road. Years later, he would meet Jessica Smith, the woman he would marry.
Michael Page’s Wife
Though there were rumors of him being married to his former girlfriend Saba Kia, it was actually revealed that Page has tied the knot with Jessica Smith instead. Now, Jessica Page-Smith is a famous personality in the fashion industry and a powerful businesswoman.
As for Kia, an Iranian native, perhaps the two called it off after years of being together. Page is a rather private individual who keeps details about his relationships private. However, it is believed that he and Smith got married in 2022.

However, now, his current net worth stands at about $1.5 million thanks to his exploits in the MMA world. During his time at Bellator, he secured about $70,000 for fighting Douglas Lima in 2021. Later on, in 2023, he secured about $100,000 for fighting Goiti Yamauchi. Perhaps, his fight against Kevin Holland at UFC 299 will start him off with a similar base salary.
