Paul Craig: Future Middleweight Champion?

Long-time UFC light heavyweight contender Paul Craig announced he will drop down a division to middleweight.

Craig Announces Middleweight Move

Craig has been part of the UFC since 2016, having fought his tenure for the promotion, and his entire twenty-three fight career, at light heavyweight. He made his debut in the UFC at 8-0 with all but one victory coming by submission in the first round. Craig built a patchy record since then, mostly trading wins and losses until he found a run of form in 2019. He climbed the rankings at 205-pounds with a six-fight undefeated streak, brutally stopping current champion Jamahal Hill in the process.
