Paul Craig currently holds the No. 14 spot in the UFC light heavyweight rankings. The Scottish grappling specialist last fought in November, when he picked up a TKO victory over former UFC light heavyweight champion and Brazilian MMA legend Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. That win was preceded by a submission victory over Gadzhimurad Antigulov, a draw against Shogun, and a submission triumph over Vinicius Moreira. Other highlights of his UFC run include wins over Kennedy Nzechukwu and Magomed Ankalaev. He’s currently 14-0 overall.<\/p>\n

Jamahal Hill, on the other hand, is currently 8-0 as a pro mixed martial artist, and is ranked one spot behind Craig in the light heavyweight rankings at No. 15. In his last fight, he picked up an impressive TKO victory over former UFC interim title challenge Ovince Saint Preux. That win was preceded by a No Contest opposite Klidson Abreu\u2014the result of a positive test for marijuana\u2014and a decision win over Darko Stosic in his UFC debut. Hill earned his spot in the UFC light heavyweight division with a victory over Alexander Poppeck on a 2019 episode of Dana White’s Contender Series.<\/p>\n
