LONDON – In territory he’s not entirely familiar with, Paul Craig is hoping a new look 20 pounds down will be the reboot he’s looking for.
After a 5-0-1 run – including a fast knockout of eventual champion Jamahal Hill – had him in the conversation among the UFC’s light heavyweight elite, Craig (16-6-1 MMA, 8-6-1 UFC) is on just the second two-fight skid of his career. Saturday on the ESPN+ main card at UFC Fight Night 224 at The O2 in London, he’ll try to get right against Andre Muniz (23-5 MMA, 5-1 UFC).
But instead of 205 pounds, Craig will make his first drop to middleweight.
