Paul Craig vs. Gadzhimurad Antigulov announced for July 25 UFC ‘Fight Island’ event

With the coronavirus pandemic causing the cancellation of their most recent fight bookings, Paul Craig and Gadzhimurad Antigulov will finally return to action this summer.

The UFC announced Thursday that Craig (12-4-1) and Antigulov (20-6) are set to meet in a light heavyweight bout on July 25 at a “Fight Island” show that takes place on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.

Known for his third-round comeback submissions, Craig is coming off of a 2019 campaign that saw him go 2-1-1. In his most recent outing, “Bearjew” fought former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua to a split draw.
