For someone who has never been particularly high in the rankings, Paul Craig has some massive names on his resume. He's great fun too, plays up to his national stereotype, if your only knowledge of Scotland is Braveheart. He's got that Cro Cop coldness behind the eyes.

Makes Scotland proud! What a beast! Doesn't get promoted enough at all!! If he had been promoted like Conor, the UFC could have made him a star if they wanted, but they didnt. If Conor had not have got the push UFC gave him, he wouldnt have become such a star. UFC decides stars, pushes who they want to become stars. Leon became a star himself, UFC didnt do that for him, some people have to go against the grain of the UFC and its not as easy cause the UFC do not want various people to become stars. Paul Craig has beaten some big names!
