UFC free fight: Paul Craig gets TKO win in rematch vs. Shogun Rua

After fighting to a draw, Paul Craig made sure to leave no doubt in his rematch against Shogun Rua.

At UFC 255 in November 2020, Craig faced Shogun for the second time after the pair fought to a draw in Brazil a couple of years prior. However, this time around, Craig was far more dominant and outgrappled the former UFC champion. Eventually, Craig took Shogun’s back and landed ground-and-pound to get the finish.

Craig (17-6-1 MMA, 9-6-1 UFC) returns to the cage this Saturday in the main event of UFC Fight Night 232 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. He takes on fellow submission artist Brendan Allen (22-5 MMA, 10-2 UFC). The event streams on ESPN+.
