MMA career

Page made his professional mixed martial arts debut on February 5, 2005 for the King of the Cage organization. He disposed of his opponent, Will Tolliver, in the first round of their bout with strikes.

After claiming victory in his next two bouts, Page fought and defeated Scott Johnson for the WEF Super Lightweight title.

An impressive victory over Stephane Vigneault followed, before Page suffered his first professional defeat. The loss came in his Pancrase debut where he was comfortably handled by Japanese fighter, Miki Shida.

Page closed out 2006 with four more fights, winning the first two by TKO but losing the final two by submission to Danny Batten in September and then UFC veteran and Japanese superstar, Genki Sudo on New Year's Eve in K-1.

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

World Extreme Cagefighting

In 2008, Page signed on to fight for the WEC. He made his debut in a bantamweight bout against Scott Jorgensen at WEC 32. Page slugged out a unanimous decision victory after three rounds.

Six months later, Page faced the undefeated Brian Bowles and was submitted in short order with a guillotine choke, Page later bounced back from his defeat by beating #5 ranked Bantamweight fighter, Marcos Galvao at WEC 39 by a stunning knockout 18 seconds into the first round. He was scheduled to fight Akitoshi Tamura on October 10, 2009 at WEC 43, but Tamura was forced to pull out due to an injury while training. Tamura was replaced by WEC newcomer Will Campuzano. Page defeated Campuzano via first round submission.

Page was expected to face Takeya Mizugaki on December 19, 2009 at WEC 45,[1] but was forced to withdraw from the card due to injury.[2]

Page was scheduled to face Antonio Banuelos on April 24, 2010 at WEC 48,[3] but Page was forced off the card with another injury. Banuelos will now face Scott Jorgensen in a rematch of their bout from WEC 41 which Banuelos won via split decision.[4]

Page was expected to face Eddie Wineland on November 11, 2010 at WEC 52.[5] However, Wineland was forced out of the bout with a shoulder injury and replaced by Demetrious Johnson.[6] After largely controlling the first round against Johnson, Page seemed to visibly tire toward the end of the second and was defeated via third round submission. Page acknowledged that the long layoff may have contributed to his performance, but refused to blame his conditioning and gave credit to his opponent finishing him.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

On October 28, 2010, World Extreme Cagefighting merged with the Ultimate Fighting Championship. As part of the merger, all WEC fighters were transferred to the UFC.[7]

Page faced former opponent Brian Bowles on March 3, 2011 at UFC Live: Sanchez vs. Kampmann, losing via first round guillotine choke for the second time against Bowles at exactly the same time as their first fight.

Page was expected to face Norifumi Yamamoto on September 24, 2011 at UFC 135.[8] However, the bout was scrapped on September 1 after both fighters sustained injuries while training for the bout.[9]

Personal life

Damacio's body is decorated with multiple tattoos that all represent deep meaning in his life. Page is a religious man and claims the tattoos are a mosaic of his life. The flames on his feet represent his willingness to walk through Hell in order to succeed in life.[10] He is starting his own MMA promotion, Southwest Cage Fighting. [11]
