Video! Craig Receives Black Belt In Front Of Hill

Mixed martial arts (MMA) might be the only sport in the world where you can dislocate an opponent’s arm and then grab a beer with them after the competition is over. That’s exactly what happened last weekend after Paul Craig defeated Jamahal Hill at UFC 263 with a first-round submission (highlights HERE).

Craig and Hill talked a lot of trash before their light heavyweight showdown that sparked UFC 263’s PPV main card. After some crisp punches from Hill it was Craig who was able to pull guard and lock up an arm. Craig cranked so hard that he dislocated Hill’s arm and left it flopping around. Hill, who didn’t miss a beat, kept fighting for a few more seconds before the referee finally stepped in.

After the fight, the two men came together to bury the hatchet. Not only did they meet up after UFC 263 to grab a few beers but Hill was in attendance when Craig’s coach, Brian Gallacher, presented him with his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt. Check out the video below:

I didn’t want to do it in the cage and take any attention of his performance and win. It was the right time more a personal moment. More to the point well well over due

Hill, who suffered his first professional loss at UFC 263, can be seen sitting at the same table as “Bearjew.” Some may have expected an awkward moment between the two fighters but cooler heads ultimately prevailed. After all, Craig broke Hill’s arm in the first round. You have to respect that.
