Craig put an end to Hill's undefeated professional record when the two fighters collided at UFC 263. Hill was left with a dislocated arm. It was one of the most gruesome injuries fans have seen a fighter suffer inside the octagon in recent times.
Craig has shown his superior submission skills on multiple occasions inside the octagon. He put it on display once again in his win over Krylov, as the 34-year-old managed to earn his 13th career win by submission against his Ukrainian counterpart. Krylov has now suffered two consecutive losses inside the octagon and his third defeat in his last four UFC fights.
