Pros react after Michael Page hands Shara Magomedov his first loss at UFC Saudi Arabia
Today’s UFC Saudi Arabia event was co-headlined by a middleweight bout between Michael Page and Shara Magomedov.

Michael Page (23-3 MMA) was returning to action for the first time since suffering a unanimous decision loss at the hands of Ian Machado Garry at UFC 303 this past June. That setback was of course preceded by a decision victory over Kevin Holland in his Octagon debut at March’s UFC 299 event.
Meanwhile, Shara Magomedov (15-1) entered today’s contest sporting a perfect UFC record of 4-0. ‘Shara Bullet’ had most previously competed this past October at UFC 308, where he scored a highlight reel spinning back fist knockout over Armen Petrosyan.
Tonight’s UFC Saudi Arabia co-main event proved to be a return to glory for Michael Page. ‘Venum’ was able to get the better of ‘Shara Bullet’ in the standup for the majority of the contest and was handed a much-deserved unanimous decision victory from the judges’ in attendance. ‘MVP’ is now 2-1 under the UFC banner and is positioned for a big fight his next time out after handing Magomedov his first career defeat. For the pirate, it is back to the drawing board.
