Michael Page vs Jared Cannonier Preview
Jared Cannonier had a rocky 2024 but he bounced back in February 2025 with a fourth-round knockout win over Gregory Rodrigues. That performance earned him Fight of the Night honors. He’s known for heavy leg kicks, dirty boxing, and crowd-pleasing finishes. Cannonier has power that demands respect each time he throws a punch. He enters this fight with 11 of his 18 wins coming by knockout and he’ll look for another knockout win in this fight.
Michael Page is a more technical striker than Cannonier but is just as effective. Page joined the UFC in March 2024 with a win over Kevin Holland. He suffered his first UFC loss against Ian Machado Garry but bounced back with a unanimous decision win over Shara Magomedov in February 2025. He tries to strike at range more than Cannonier and that could give him a stylistic edge here.
The million dollar question in this fight is whether Page can keep Cannonier at a distance effectively enough to win this matchup. Cannonier can win if he can get Page into a proverbial phone booth and land shots in close. But the edge will be with Page if he can land jabs and leg kicks to keep Cannonier honest.
Betting Insights
- Page is the favorite in this fight at -198. Cannonier is +164 to get his second win in a row.
- Oddsmakers are expecting this fight to last a while. The over/under for the fight is set at 2.5 rounds and the over is juiced to -260. Bettors can grab the under at +195 if they anticipate an early finish.
- Page has had three straight fights go to decision since joining UFC.
- Two of Cannonier’s last three fights have ended by knockout. He is 1-1 in those two knockout endings.
Michael Page vs Jared Cannonier Prediction
I am really excited to see how these two fighters use their striking in very different ways in this matchup. As far as who will win the fight, I think that Page will find a way to keep Cannonier from getting within range to land big blows. Page will be happy to use his technical advantages to pick at Cannonier and outpoint him over 15 minutes. I’ll take Page to win this fight by decision.
