Paul Craig's Statements About Other Fighters

Magomed Ankalaev
Magomed Ankalaev September 30, 2025

“I was really surprised by how quick his footwork was and how he would draw his opponent into his rear hand. And he hits with it very, very hard. That win looks better and better with time. The guy is 21—1—1, and you have to give him credit. His one loss to me… it doesn’t matter if it was in the first second or the last a win is a win.For 14 minutes and 50 seconds, he imposed his will on me. He was physically very strong, very explosive. I remember a moment when he picked me up and put me down on the canvas like a father putting a baby to bed. And I couldn’t do anything about it. I had a hole in my jaw, under my chin, from one of his punches. I had cracked ribs. He just beat me up, and for two days I couldn’t walk afterwards. He destroyed my legs and arms.But then came that submission in the very last second – a special moment for me. It was the last fight on my contract, and it decided whether I would stay in the UFC or not.””
