Total Kombat, the all-striking fight series co-created by UFC & Bellator star Michael “Venom” Page, kicks off its 2026 season tonight with a live event from Liverpool on ITVX. Fans can tune in at 7 p.m. for Total Kombat 03, the first of four events in a fresh deal with ITV that promises non-stop action and highlights on ITV4.
Total Kombat on ITV
The promotion burst onto screens last September with its ITVX debut, pulling in 2025’s biggest UK TV audience for martial arts and sparking viral clips that have racked up tens of millions of views online. Over half the fights ended quickly, three in the first round alone, thanks to Page’s custom rules that ban wrestling and ground work, letting kickboxers, karate experts, and taekwondo aces shine with highlight-reel strikes.
The card features heavy hitters like Dee Begley, a teammate of Conor McGregor at SBG Dublin; Ben Fillingham, who trains with UFC’s Lone’er Kavanagh and Nathaniel Wood; and Cameron Booth, the Commonwealth Games silver medalist in boxing. Tickets sold out a month early, and CEO Lee Matthews couldn’t hide his excitement: “We knew we had a great product but even so, we were blown away by the response to our ITVX debut. We’ve built something really special here, some of these fighters are going to become legendary.”
Page, a London native whose flashy style inspired the whole setup, sees Total Kombat as the platform he always wanted. “When I was coming up, I dreamed of a platform like Total Kombat, somewhere I could show my skills on national television,” he said. “I love MMA but there’s something special about an all-striking ruleset which really lets these guys show what they can do.” His production company, In The Moment Productions, handles the slick cinematic look, and he’s eyeing a full pivot to filmmaking once he retires from fighting.
ITV Commissioning Editor Richard Botchway called it a fan win: “We’re delighted to continue our partnership with Total Kombat and commit to bringing the very best athletes in underground combat sports to a free-to-air audience across the UK.” Full card details drop soon, but expect another evening of elite striking that builds on the buzz from last time.
Total Kombat Season 3 streams live and exclusively in the UK at 7pm on ITVX on Saturday, February 28th, 2026.
Michael Venom Page
The event, co-created by British UFC standout Michael “Venom” Page, follows a blockbuster ITVX bow that drew 2025’s top UK TV crowd for martial arts. Social media highlights from that night have exploded to tens of millions of views, fueled by Page’s fan-focused rules, no wrestling, no stalling, just pure stand-up fireworks from kickboxers, karate black belts, and Olympic-level strikers.
CEO Lee Matthews beamed about the hype: “We were blown away by the response to our ITVX debut. We’ve built something really special, some of these fighters are going to become legendary.” Page added, “September was an amazing debut on ITVX… February 28th is going to be another level again.” His In The Moment Productions amps up the cinematic production, blending Page’s fight flair with big-screen polish.
