UFC London bonuses: Paul Craig gets ‘Performance of the Night’ for Hail Mary submission

Paul Craig will leave UFC London a little richer after his miraculous underdog win over Magomed Ankalaev.

Craig, the biggest betting underdog on the card, submitted Ankalaev with a Hail Mary triangle choke at 4:59 of the third round to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in a fight he was literally one second away from losing at UFC London. In doing so, the Scotsman broke the UFC’s record for latest stoppage in a three-round fight — a record that was subsequently matched by Leon Edward’s main-card victory over Peter Sobotta.
