It wouldn’t be unfair to call Paul Craig an “all-or-nothing” fighter. The affable Scot has demonstrated a penchant for the dramatic in an up-and-down UFC career that has seen him enter the record books for one of the greatest come-from-behind wins in UFC history. Craig (11-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) has never gone to the scorecards in his 14-fight mixed martial arts career, but that’s not to say all his fights have finished quickly. In each of his last three outings, Craig was embroiled in back-and-forth battles that went deep into the third round. He came through two of those bouts victorious, dramatically submitting a previously dominant (and undefeated) Magomed Ankalaev in the fight’s last second at UFC Fight Night 127 in London last year, then claiming another late submission to defeat Kennedy Nzechukwu at UFC on ESPN 2 in March this year. Craig’s gritty approach to his fights and relentless pursuit of the submission finish has made his fights must-see TV, with his record-setting win over Ankalaev proving that even if he’s being dominated by his opponent, he only needs a glimmer of an opportunity to turn the fight on its head and walk away with his hand raised.
