PHOENIX – If you like a little bad blood to help fuel the fire in a professional cage fight, then Paul Craig vs. Jamahal Hill might just be the bout for you. The two light heavyweights kick off Saturday’s UFC 263 pay-per-view main card, and they don’t seem terribly fond of each other – with Hill openly admitting he’s taking things personally. “I’m taking this a little personal just because of some of the things that were said,” Hill told MMA Junkie at a Wednesday media day. “I mean, some of the narratives that Paulicia decided to paint, yeah, I didn’t appreciate that.” The animosity started when Hill (8-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) was forced to withdraw from a planned March meeting with Craig (14-4-1 MMA, 6-4-1 UFC), at which point the Scot took to Twitter to announce that his opponent “pulled out” from the fight.
