After dropping back-to-back fights, Paul Craig is dropping down from light-heavyweight to middleweight, and will battle Andre Muniz next.
Craig, who is currently ranked #9 in the UFC’s light-heavyweight ranks, is coming off consecutive losses to Volkan Oezdemir and Johnny Walker. Recently, the UFC announced that the feared, submission artist will fight Muniz at the promotion’s July 22nd show in London, England.
Muniz (23-5), meanwhile, is coming off a submission loss to Brendan Allen in February, which snapped his nine-fight, winning streak. Currently, Muniz is ranked #15 in the UFC’s middleweight division.
