Paul Craig’s next matchup will be against an opponent who also has a nose for the finish.
Officials announced that Craig and Alonzo Menifield have been booked for a light heavyweight bout on June 29 at Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In six UFC appearances, Scotland’s Craig (11-3) has developed a reputation for comeback finishes and he has picked up Performance of the Night bonuses in each of his three Octagon victories. He most recently defeated Kennedy Nzechukwu by submission with less than a minute remaining in the third round at UFC Philadelphia this past March.
