The exciting middleweight showdown between ranked contenders Jared Cannonier and Michael Page will be part of the UFC 319 main card on Aug. 16, which will take place inside the United Center in Chicago.
After delivering a show-stopping performance in his middleweight debut last February, Page surges into the spotlight as the slight betting favorite with -180 UFC odds. Cannonier, a former title challenger, returns to the octagon full of determination as a +150 betting underdog.

UFC 319: Cannonier vs. Page: Prediction
In this battle of savage strikers, I predict that Page will secure a unanimous decision victory due to his speed and accuracy, which will likely frustrate Cannonier as he struggles to keep up with him.
With Page’s quickness and elusiveness, Cannonier is likely to encounter difficulty landing his signature power punches, which have previously led to decisive victories. Additionally, Page will have opportunities to counter Cannonier’s forward movement.
Another factor to note is the age of Cannonier, who is already 41 years old and has long since passed his prime. Although power still packs his punches, I doubt that the speed and explosiveness are going to be the same as it was three or four years ago, when he was a walking knockout machine.
Jared Cannonier’s Recent Fight Results
Cannonier is a 10-year UFC veteran who previously competed in the heavyweight and light heavyweight divisions before finding his home in the 185-pound weight class. During his time in the heavier divisions, he accumulated a 3-2 win-loss card.
Since his permanent move to the middleweight division, Cannonier made a run toward the title and challenged Israel Adesanya for the belt in July 2022 at UFC 276, but came up short with a decision loss. He’s coming off a bounce-back win against Gregory Rodrigues earlier this year to remain in the top 10 rankings.
Michael Page’s Recent Fight Results
Before signing a contract with the UFC in 2024, Page was a Bellator standout and one of the most exciting fighters outside of the Las Vegas-based promotion, thanks to his elite striking and explosive power.
“Venom” competed in the welterweight division for his two bouts in the UFC and has split his results with a win against Kevin Holland and a loss to Ian Garry. His most recent match was against Shara Magomedov, where he secured a unanimous decision victory to crack a spot in the division’s top 15 rankings.
