Craig is the coolest looking fighter with the least cool fighting style.

[@kingt0295]

His career shows how bad the upper weight classes are, he can literally only do jiu jitsu and he can’t even take anyone down. At least a guy like Brian Ortega developed good boxing to make guys shoot on him bc he also can’t do takedowns.

No speed no movement no counters. He should just go compete in jiujitsu tournaments. Paul has spirit and grit but can't be in there and taking punches like that.

[@italianstalian331]

Yeah I get fighters are their own person n shit but I don't get how his team has not pushed him to work on his striking and wrestling like he does not need to train bjj much at all he should focus so much more on boxing especially after how his last few fights went its a shame cause he was a fan favorite and had good moments but I think now he's taken way too much damage to the head

[@John-iq7ry]

@@markmessi9020 I think a large part of the problem is that he trains at some no name gym in the middle of nowhere in Scotland. He doesn't have training partners that can push him. He doesn't have the best coaches who can teach him how to wrestle and strategize at the highest level. I guess he's loyal to his gym and his hometown, but he should seriously consider going to a top gym like AKA. He could become a real contender again...

Paul Craig vs Ben Askren in a boxing match. Make it happen.

[@marcd1981]

Someone in Craig's corner needs to tell him he is allowed to block those punches with something other than his face. And something I've been wondering about lately is how each fighter is identified next to their names. This is also in bare knuckle fighting, where I don't know many of the fighters to be able to identify who they are just by looking at them. They keep using the color of the trunks, but sometimes there are similar colors being worn by each fighter, and if you don't know who they are, you have to keep trying to figure out which one is which during the fight. But EVERY fight has one fighter with blue tape on the gloves, and the other fighter with red tape. Pretty easy to identify who they are with blue and red every time.
