After claiming victory in his next two bouts, Page fought and defeated Scott Johnson for the WEF Super Lightweight Championship.
An impressive victory over Stephane Vigneault followed, before Page suffered his first professional defeat. The loss came in his Pancrase debut where he was handled by Japanese fighter, Miki Shida.

Fighting just the once in 2007, Page knocked out Rod Montoya at an Extreme Challenge event to improve his record to 6-3.
World Extreme Cagefighting

Six months later, Page faced the undefeatedBrian Bowlesand was submitted in short order with a guillotine choke. Page later bounced back from his defeat by defeating #5 ranked Bantamweight fighter at the time,Marcos GalvaoatWEC 39via KO 18 seconds into the first round. He was scheduled to fightAkitoshi Tamuraon October 10, 2009, atWEC 43,but Tamura was forced to pull out due to an injury while training.
