LAS VEGAS – Joe Pyfer wants to take a step forward in the UFC middleweight rankings, and while he’s at it, he wants to address a personal matter.
Pyfer (13-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) wants his next career move to be against veteran Paul Craig, as he believes it makes sense sporting wise, and also, he’s got an issue with the Scottish man.
The 27-year-old Pyfer fought Saturday at UFC 303, stopping Marc-Andre Barriault (16-8 MMA, 5-7 UFC) in the first round. After the fight, he called out Craig for a fight this fall. The callout stems from a brief interaction they had in the past.
