Paul Craig became the first Scottish fighter to main event a UFC card. And he lost. But the 36-year-old is back for more.
Paul Craig is out for redemption as he faces home country hero Caio Borralho in Brazil at UFC 301 on Saturday
That impressive showing earned the ultimately unsuccessful main event slot against Allen in the far more tame surroundings of the UFC Apex – a glorified training centre in Las Vegas. “I think it’s just the Scottishness in me, we’ve always been the underdog. I’ve bought a career on upsetting that," he says.
His redemption arc isn’t the reason the 36-year-old has been sent to South America. He’s there to be another name on the list of Borralho’s fallen foes. “If this fight pans out the way I think it’s going to pan out, I think it’s going to be a very good night for Paul Craig.”
