After his recent loss, Paul Craig is reportedly now set to have his next fight with a new UFC fighter on the roster: Caio Borralho.
Ag.Fight first shared the news, claiming the bout will be included in a rumored Rio de Janeiro UFC event later this year. In case true, it will follow the UFC 283 pay-per-view event the promotion had in the said location last year.
The fight will give Craig the chance to redeem himself after losing to Brendan Allen via submission last November. This will be the third middleweight of “Bearjew,” confirming his permanent move to the division after departing from the light heavyweight division, where he experienced losses in his last two bouts. Nonetheless, Craig is considered one of the remarkable fighters in his earlier class weight after defeating the likes of Kennedy Nzechukwu and Magomed Ankalaev.
Borralho, nonetheless, will certainly give Craig a hard time in the cage. Despite only officially entering the UFC roster in 2022, “The Natural” has obtained a good reputation by winning his first fight and continuing his victory up to this day, giving him a five-fight winning streak.
