His exit marks one of the most high‑profile departures of the current UFC offseason and raises immediate questions about his next professional move. BBC’s report confirmed White’s statement, and Bloody Elbow and MMA Fighting noted that the departure came despite Page’s recent victories.
Sports Illustrated covered Page’s angry response to fans following the sudden exit, while Yahoo Sports quoted an ex‑UFC champion describing Page’s fighting instinct as “a live feed of the judges’ scorecards.” Additionally, Yahoo Sports and si.com relayed Jake Paul’s public teasers about signing Page to his newly announced MVP MMA promotion. The departure affects multiple parties: Page must negotiate a new deal, the UFC loses a marketable fighter, and Jake Paul’s MVP MMA brand stands to gain a high‑profile signing.
Observers will watch for an official announcement from MVP MMA or competing promotions as the next step in Page’s career.
