Fans have reacted to a sparring session between former UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson and Michael 'Venom' Page. Johnson bade farewell to the UFC in 2018 and retired from the sport in 2024 as the ONE Championship flyweight title holder.
'Mighty Mouse' revealed his reasons for leaving mixed martial arts, saying he no longer finds the sport enjoyable and would rather train and assist others. During training camp, Johnson was not permitted to train with any fighter of his choice because he was bound.
However, Johnson is now free to train with other athletes and exchange ideas, which he prefers. 'Mighty Mouse' was recently spotted training with Page, who is known for his unconventional fighting style.

Shara Magomedov vows strong comeback after loss to Michael 'Venom' Page
Shara Magomedov will look to return to winning ways when he takes on Marc-Andre Barriault at UFC Abu Dhabi. Despite a loss to Michael 'Venom' Page earlier this year, 'Bullet' holds an impressive MMA record of 15-1. Magomedov's double-spinning back fist KO at UFC 308 was his strongest performance to date, and he plans to give a similar, standout performance in his upcoming fight.
Recently, 'Bullet' took to Instagram and delivered a cryptic message, hinting at a strong comeback.
"Every warrior is destined to face a time of silence… but the calm is over. The Pirate lifts anchor, driven by a voice within. It’s time to leave the quiet harbor and sail into open seas. The silence is behind him. The sails are raised. He doesn’t set out for a peaceful voyage — he sails for glory... Who dares to stand in his path? Who’s next to be boarded?"
