The Las Vegas-based promotion announced the new light heavyweight bout on Tuesday. UFC Fight Night 164 takes place at Ibriapuera Gymnasium on Nov. 16 and is headlined by a light heavyweight showdown between Jan Blachowicz and Ronaldo Souza.
Craig has won two of his last three Octagon appearances, including a first-round submission of Vinicius Moreira Castro in his last outing at UFC Fight Night 159.
