Paul Craig Smarting From Three-Fight Losing Streak

In 2022, Paul Craig was known as one of the best 205-lb competitors on the planet, having compiled a stellar six-bout unbeaten run, taking notable wins over divisional standouts such as Maurício Rua, future champion Jamahal Hill and Nikita Krylov.
