Jared Cannonier (18-8-0) versus Michael Page (23-3-0) is a UFC Middleweight bout on Saturday night at the United Center in Chicago. Cannonier will be looking to bounce back from his tough losses in 2024 to go on a winning run and improve his No. 9 ranking in the division. "The Killa Gorilla" is already on course to doing that after defeating Gregory Rodrigues via KO in February this year. He'll walk into the Octagon on Saturday bearing the +150 underdog tag.
Meanwhile, Michael "Venom" Page is the bookmakers' favorite to emerge victorious from this fight. He's still a new name in the franchise after making his debut in March 2024, winning via decision against Kevin Holland. However, he lost via a third-round decision to Ian Machado Garry at UFC 303 in June 2024. Page delivered a masterclass win against Shara Magomedov in February this year, and his fans expect him to build on that performance.

Our Jared Cannonier vs Michael Page Prediction
Cannonier is a skilled knockout artist who can deliver some nasty low kicks. He also has underrated boxing skills, which he could deploy to keep his rival at bay. However, despite being the bigger and stronger fighter, Cannonier may struggle with dragging Page to the canvas. He averages 0.46 takedowns every 15 minutes with a success rate of 44%. This means he may struggle to cope with Page's long-distance kickboxing prowess. Page fights from his karate stance, which may limit Cannonier's striking chances. It's an interesting fight that we expect to go the distance.
Our prediction for Jared Cannonier vs Michael Page: Michael Page to win via decision.
