Michael Page · 62%

Moderate lean — this matchup has enough uncertainty to keep confidence in the middle range.

Prediction

Market snapshot on Aug. 24: Page roughly -175 to -195, Ruziboev roughly +153 to +170. Page gets the pick because his movement, timing and long-range counter striking create a difficult style for opponents who need clean entries. Ruziboev is the larger finisher and has dangerous grappling, but Page's reach and ability to stay off the center line give him the more reliable round-winning path.
