Final Prediction
This fight is a tough call. Michael Page is highly experienced, with 22 wins, 3 losses, and 22 years in the sport. Sharabutdin Magomedov is unbeaten and on an incredible run.
Page has more wins and a higher knockout rate than decision victories. That gives him an edge in finishing fights. But Magomedov’s momentum and undefeated record make him dangerous.
This should be a close contest. My concern is Page’s loss to Ian Machado Garry, who had a similar style to Magomedov. That fight went the distance, and I expect this one to as well.
If I had to choose, I’d lean toward Sharabutdin Magomedov.
