UFC Sao Paulo results: Shogun Rua and Paul Craig fight to a split draw

The UFC Sao Paulo co-main event just closed out with UFC Hall of Famer, Shogun Rua, fighting to a split draw with Paul Craig. Shogun rallied after a rough opening round, and is currently the promotion’s #14 ranked light heavyweight. As for Craig, this is the best he’s ever looked on his feet.

Craig started hot, throwing an assortment of kicks and backing up the veteran. They spent a lot of time in the clinch, but there was a moment where Craig broke apart and just started throwing all the punches. Shogun weathered the storm and landed a few solo strikes here and there, but the opening act was all Craig.
