A pair of light heavyweights have been teed up for the UFC’s return to London.
Paul Craig (15-4-1 MMA, 7-4-1 UFC) is set to take on Nikita Krylov (27-8 MMA, 8-6 UFC) in March, the promotion announced Friday. They’ll meet at the UFC’s planned Fight Night card March 19 in London.
Craig is unbeaten inn his past five fights. Only a split draw with former champion Mauricio Rua in November 2019 stands between him and a perfect stretch the past two and a half years. His four wins in that run, though, all are stoppages – including when he put Rua away with a barrage of strikes that had “Shogun” tapping in their November 2020 rematch.
