I'm on my way to making some “waves” among the UFC light heavyweights. This division will be mine. There is an edition of the UFC coming to Scotland in 2017, but I don't know when. I hope it will be during the summer, so I can train a lot, as it is the time when schools are on break. And maybe fight a Brazilian legend. You know what would be cool? If I faced someone like Mauritius Shogun ou Rogério Minotouro. It would be really good”, commented Craig, in an interview with the website “MMA Junkie” (USA), and then completed by talking about the experience of debuting with victory in the biggest MMA organization in the world.

Unfortunately, some people had their dreams destroyed tonight and one of them was Henrique. The armbar was incredible, especially as it helped him defeat an opponent who had never been defeated. I was responsible for bringing this defeat to him and that was a great experience”, he concluded.
Paul Craig He is undefeated as a professional fighter, with nine wins in nine fights, eight by submission and one by knockout.
