TWO TITLES UP FOR GRABS! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) makes its highly anticipated return to Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sat., Nov. 11, 2023, with a re-worked pay-per-view (PPV) main card. In the ESPN+-streamed main event, former 205-pound roost-ruler, Jiri Prochazka, will lock horns with ex-Middleweight kingpin, Alex Pereira, for the promotion’s vacant Light Heavyweight title. In UFC 295’s co-main event, top-ranked Heavyweight contenders, Sergei Pavlovich (No. 2) and Tom Aspinall (No. 4), will collide for the interim strap after division champion, Jon Jones, was injured with a torn pectoral muscle and forced to withdraw (video).

Don’t miss a single second of EPIC face-punching action!

Hill tried to use his length early to land some punches from distance but Craig was able to work his way inside. “Bearjew” opted to pull guard and work off his back. It was only a matter of time before he locked up an arm and extended for a nasty submission attempt. Hill didn’t tap and Craig ended up dislocating his arm. That didn’t stop Hill, though, as the young contender kept fighting. Craig started peppering Hill with hard punches until the referee eventually stepped in.

After the fight, Hill was seen holding his injured arm heading into the back. Check out the highlights below courtesy of UFC/ESPN:

For Craig, this is a massive win on one of the biggest PPV cards of the year. The veteran light heavyweight is now 4-0-1 in his last five Octagon appearances and looks ready to test his luck against someone in the top 10.
