Page is 4-1 in the Ultimate Fighting Championship since joining the promotion in 2024, with his lone loss coming via decision against Ian Garry. The British fighter previously spent much of his career with Bellator MMA, where he scored a series of highlight-reel knockouts and challenged for interim welterweight gold.

“Venom” is riding a three-fight win streak and is booked to compete at UFC Paris on Sept. 5 against Nursulton Ruziboev. Page has yet to find a finish inside the Octagon.

Meanwhile, Shlemenko brings extensive combat sports experience into his RAF debut. The 42-year-old has competed 87 times professionally, earning 35 knockout victories and 13 submissions in mixed martial arts. During his Bellator run, he captured the middleweight championship in 2013 and successfully defended it three times.
