Scars tell stories. In combat sports, they are often considered badges of honor—etched reminders of battles fought inside and outside the cage. But Michael ‘Venom’ Page has left fans scratching their heads over one peculiar mark.

The British striker, known for his flashy, hands-down style, thrives in the spotlight. After an extensive career in kickboxing, Page made the transition to MMA in 2012. Since then he’s made a name for himself as one of the most elusive and explosive strikers in the game. But when it comes to the scar on his torso, fans are left wondering, was it from a childhood accident? A training mishap? A fight outside the cage?

The mystery surrounding Michael Page’s scar  

Through all his years in combat sports, Michael Page has endured his fair share of injuries. Cuts, bruises, and swollen knuckles are routine for a fighter. But the scar on his stomach? That’s a different story.

Unlike other fighters who proudly share the origins of their battle wounds, ‘Venom’ has never spoken about this one. Not in interviews. Not on social media. Nowhere. The silence only fuels speculation. Did he suffer a serious injury during training? Was it a surgical scar from an old procedure? Or could it be linked to something outside of the fight world?

Even though theories run wild, the truth remains unknown. Some fans believe he hides it because it’s personal. Others think it’s simply not a story worth telling. Whatever the case, Page isn’t letting anyone in on the secret.

It’s a surprising move for a man who thrives on showmanship. But this mystery is destined to remain unsolved unless Page himself comes out to address the theories surrounding the scar. Yet, despite the mystery surrounding his scar, one thing about Michael Page is clear—he’s not done creating jaw-dropping moments.

Because at UFC Saudi Arabia, he’ll be taking on Russian knockout artist Sharaputdin Magomedov in a fight that promises all-out action from the moment the bell rings!

‘Venom’ wanted to prove a point against ‘Shara ‘Bullet’  

Michael ‘Venom’ Page isn’t just stepping up in weight—he’s stepping into a firefight. At UFC Saudi Arabia, the English showman will trade leather with ‘Shara Bullet’. But why make the leap to 185 pounds?

In an interview with UFC.com, the British fighter explained that the answer is simple. “Very simply, he called out a friend of mine, Izzy (Adesanya), claiming to be the best striker, and I was like, ‘I’ll happily prove you wrong before you even get a chance to fight my boy.’ So that’s it.”,  Page confessed.

‘Shara Bullet’ is currently undefeated in his professional MMA career and is coming off a spectacular double-spinning backfist over Armen Petrosyan at UFC 308. A bold challenge? Absolutely. But for Page, this is more than a grudge match. According to ‘Venom’, “Every fan can look at this fight and they’ll feel exactly the same way that I’m feeling. And it is pure excitement. It’s like, when these two exceptional strikers come together, what’s going to happen?”

But does this detour mean Page is losing sight of his ultimate goal? Not in the slightest. He may be dabbling in the middleweight division for this fight, but his eyes remain locked on the welterweight throne. Why? ‘Venom’ believes, “The exciting part of the welterweight division is it seems like nobody’s really got their grasp on the welterweight belt… All the high ranks are dropping, which means there’s movement, there’s space for me to wiggle my way through.”

In the end, the mystery may surround the scar, but there’s nothing uncertain about Michael Page’s intentions. He’s here to put on a show, to silence doubters, and to carve his path toward UFC gold—one electrifying performance at a time. 

Whether at welterweight or middleweight, ‘Venom’ thrives in the chaos, and against Magomedov, he’s ready to prove that when the cage door locks, only one striker will leave with his aura intact. Will ‘Venom’s gamble pay off, or will ‘Shara Bullet’ fire the perfect shot in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
