If in the first fight Paul Craig tied with Mauritius Shogun, in Brazil, in the second, played in the UFC 255, showed that it is superior. At the event held on Saturday (21), in Las Vegas, USA, the Scot knocked out the former light heavyweight champion (93kg) in the second round and the important victory over a big name in the sport left him excited. So much so that he is already making plans for the future.
In the post-show press conference, Craig expressed his desire to return to fight soon and mentioned the name of Johnny Walker as an ideal opponent. 'Bearjew' believes that this fight has everything to be exciting and that he can take advantage of the gaps that the target gives in his fights. In addition to Walker, the Scot targets Misha Cirkunov and even Glover Teixeira.

“My fighting style goes well against anyone in the top-10. My strong point is grappling. Athletes like Walker are good fights for me. He's explosive, wild, but he makes mistakes that I could capitalize on. Not just him. There's also Cirkunov, who always puts on exciting fights. I have my eye on a lot of fighters and look for those who are in the top-10. I would also like to face Glover in a five-round fight. I took Shogun out of the game and could I surprise another legend?”, said Craig
The victory over Mauritius Shogun, UFC 255, was the second consecutive Paul Craig. The Scot is experiencing his best moment in the organization and currently occupies 15th place in the light heavyweight rankings.
