Contender Series Standout Jim Crute to Face Paul Craig at UFC Fight Night Adelaide

Another winner from Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series will make his first Octagon foray when Jim Crute squares off against Paul Craig at UFC Fight Night 142.

Promotion officials recently announced the light heavyweight booking. UFC Fight Night 142 takes place on Dec. 1 at Adelaide Entertainment Center in Adelaide, Australia. The main card will air on Fox Sports 1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass. A previously reported flyweight tilt pitting Wilson Reis against Ben Nguyen was also confirmed for the card.

Crute improved to 8-0 with a first-round technical knockout victory over Chris Birchler in a Contender Series bout on July 24.
