My UFC predictions look at a clash of styles in this middleweight bout as veteran powerhouse Jared Cannonier meets flashy striker Michael “Venom” Page on the UFC 319 main card.

Cannonier, now 41, is still one of the division’s most physical forces, with knockout power, durability, and punishing close-range offense. Page counters with the elusive, unorthodox striking he honed in Bellator, and his speed will carry over well in his second straight middleweight bout.

I make my Cannonier vs. Page prediction ahead of tonight's action, including my preferred betting angle, part of my UFC picks. The main card begins at 10 p.m. ET (ESPN+ PPV) from the United Center in Chicago.

Odds via bet365 as of Friday.

Jared Cannonier Method of victory Michael Page

Page’s range management, feints, and sudden flurries make him one of the trickiest strikers in MMA to prepare for. His defensive movement often forces opponents into low-volume fights, allowing him to outpoint them over three rounds.

Cannonier’s clearest path is to pressure relentlessly, close the gap, and work in the clinch or against the cage. His power and chin mean he’s always dangerous, but catching MVP clean will require cutting off the cage far more effectively than most have managed.

🥊 UFC 319 predictions: Jared Cannonier vs. Michael Page preview

✅ Prediction: Michael Page to beat Jared Cannonier
📊 Best odds: -188 via bet365 ($10 to win $5.32)

Cannonier’s grit and toughness make him a live underdog at the best sports betting sites, but MVP’s ability to keep opponents guessing with awkward timing, sharp counters, and range control should allow him to dictate the pace.

His constant movement and unpredictable entries can frustrate aggressive fighters, forcing them into mistakes and wasting valuable energy. If Page can establish his jab early and control the center, he’ll make it even harder for Cannonier to close distance and find the power shots he needs.

If Page keeps this fight at range and forces Cannonier into chasing exchanges, a decision win becomes the most likely outcome.

MVP’s volume may not be overwhelming, but his accuracy, footwork, and defensive reads should keep him ahead on the cards. Cannonier could land big, but without sustained pressure or significant damage, it’s hard to see him swaying the judges over three rounds.
