If that triangle choke against ankalev happened in a title fight it would be one of the greatest finishes ever
Is it the latest submission finish?
@@jmz2144 dj vs horiguchi
@@singhisbling9385yeah technically they each occured with 1 second remaining in each bout, but Johnson vs Horiguchi was a 5 rounder, as opposed to Craig vs Ankalaev being a 3 round fight.
Jiri vs Glover was pretty much the same!
Better than Anderson vs chael ? Gets beat down for 4 and half round pull off a triangle in the last minute.
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.
Yeah mad how Ankalaev fought for the title, Hill won the title and Craig hasn't even had a shot!
@@dazzler3622That fight against Ouzdemir is the reason he hasn’t yet
The man goes to war every single time, kill it be killed. It's a show. And yeah, his resume is slept on. I'm a fan of his move to MW. Even picked Muniz to win. But I wanted Paul to win, and the way he won it was nuts, as it usually is in his fights...crazy finishes, win or lose.
Facts bro!
@misocriallo4379 I think the smart thing going to 185, he looked massive vs muniz, he was usually the smaller guy at 205, I think we're gonna see his top game shine at 185 and if muniz had no answer then idk about the rest of the top 15 at 185 cos for me muniz was the best grappling talent in the division until chimaev moved up
I think Paul Craig is truly representing Jiu jitsu in a Mma fight.
Jamahl hill just looking at his arm in disappointment "you let me down" lol what a warrior
Paul Craig is the definition of 'Just because you're down doesn't mean you're out.'
one of the most criminally underrated fighters on the roster. one of the fighters that really made me convert from the “grappling is boring” casuals to a real fan of the sport.
He is not underrated. He is good but situationally, i.e. he is not consistent. He can win with anyone and lose with anyone.
No one says Grappling is boring. Combat sambo and dangestanis make it look boring.
@@vishnulalwani5283 you're a causal right so much hate for dagestanis grow up lad dagestanis beat all your favourite fighters come just get over it
@@copyrightstrike9504no one likes those Muslims, they are bland
Jamahal took that arm dislocation like a champ tho
Most fighters would quit once it’s broke. A rare few would go out swinging like that
@@jptothetree literally what he said
Eh, I don't know. Adrenaline.
That's no dislocation, that's broke af bro
@@thomasbalfe1492 Except, it was dislocated.
I'm sure others have talked about this before but it needs to be pointed out again - Paul Craig is a good dude for not ending Hill's career by mutilating that arm. he went for ground n pound when he could have torn every single ligament in that dislocated forearm.
Well said and that reminds me of Chandler not doing any follow up shots of that kick knockout to tony
If he was Brazilian he would get so much more love. His Jiu jitsu transitions are different level.
fucking crazy. I was watching the Ankliev triangle frame by frame watching how he (mostly) perfectly slaps it on in one perfect motion at the exact split second getting his leg around the punch then shifting his weight around to ensure locking it in tighter and then tightening for the finish. God damn I just learned a lot!
@@zogjonesHe's got the best triangle choke in the UFC, completely mastered the technique
Note to self: if ever fighting Paul Craig and he's on his back, stand him up.
And as your standing up he pulls your arm in a sinks in a triangle
Cheat code activated 😂
Fighters like Islam and co will follow him down and submit him. Craig is hell of a fighter though
@@jagobouffler6206ask that to johny walker who ko'd him standing lmfao
@@TheWill0fStrengthJohnny walker was 20 pounds heavier than Paul in that fight, that’s wh y he moved to 185
Finishing Ankalaev is extraordinary. That's how Oliveira dreamed his fight against Makhachev would go
Oliveria was an extraordinary champion tho, and probably will be again, something Paul Craig will never be, it is what it is.
His submission of Ankalaev has to be one of the most miraculous of all time
Paul Craig has a series of really big wins against some really strong competition. Dude is underrated
Only guy to beat Ank and Hill
Krylov too@@Fung-Fung
@@Fung-Funghe’s got a talent for giving undefeated guys their first Ls
The finish against Jamal Hill was so brutal. Hope Paul wins his next fight as well.
Video title should be "Every Paul Craig Comeback"
As crazy as it sounds, Paul Craig is one of the reasons i started falling in love with the grappling aspect of mma
I understand
He always l drops to his back and gets triangles
Crazy how efficient he is on his back
Those last minute/turn around submissions are super fun to see
@@Mattpapa123 it's like he finds the triangles out of thin air bro it's insane
I mean to finish Ankalaev & Sweet Dreams Hill is MAJORLY IMPRESSIVE
Especially Ankalaev who i dont see losing to any other LHW for a long time.
I love seeing Paul's face when his coaches tackle him
So respectful to his opponents. Seriously commendable behavior from Craig. It always feels like he’s not gloating when he talks after the bout. He says that one moment decides the victor and loser and that it’s unpredictable a lot.
HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
hahaha
Yep
With his skill?
Sometimes he doesn't and he gets KOed...
Lol 😂
that finish of ankelaev is crazzzzzzzzzy. It must've been a horrible feeling for ankelaev though, just like me studying all year and still getting c+ all over my scores.
It would be more like getting a fucking F 😂🤣Ankalaev literally tapped with like 3 seconds to go he probably wouldn’t of gone out either if he just hung in there.
@@BRUCiE997Lucky choke! Ankalaev destroyed Paul the whole rounds... until that lucky choke
@@muhammadsalafiahlulhadith triangle was all skill, only lucky thing about it was ankelaev didnt know how much time was left in the round or he would have just let it go. how tf you gunna dive into a dudes sub like that, rookie shit from ankelaev.
@@muhammadsalafiahlulhadith I agree he was dominating the fight then gave up in the last 5 seconds
@@BRUCiE997 it's not 3 secs to go, it was literally 1 sec left ROFL. I can't understand how Craig could put such tight triangle that forced him to tap in only 3 secs
it really just shows how tough it is to make it in the ufc one loss can really set you back you almost have to be perfect, rooting for paul on this you bad man
Jamal Hill said that Paul Craig has better grappling than Glover Texieira
Of course, Paul Craig game it's ONLY grappling, his striking is horrible. Glover Teixeira it's complet, and Jamahall fought against an old man.
@@DiegoNa018 Pauls stand up has gotten better.
I'd take Paul G&P over Glover
Jamal hill also said he thinks he can out grapple any one just the other day
Mind you Glover’s G&P is a total nightmare, that man has to be heavy as shit when he’s on top. Jiri getting out of Glover’s top game also crazy.
Paul Craig is the most dangerous guy on the ground in the entire UFC and I'm not joking. It's his abysmal striking and subpar wrestling that's keeping him away from being a champion.i really wish he succeeds in MW , big fan
in all fairness they've improved a lot in his last fight but his age is holding him from touching a belt
Charles Oliveira is a tennis player
Would love to see him against Khamzat
I feel like middleweight has way fewer fighters with good grappling than LHW, I see a bright future for Craig
Underrated fighter, high level submissions.. especially from bottom guard
The fact that this video is 10 minutes is amazing. I’d love to see Paul as champion someday but fear he’s gonna be the Scottish Cowboy Cerrone.
That finish against Jamahal is the most brutal i have ever seen, period.
This guy is the real deal. Scotland 🏴 proud. Vicious fighter.
Entertaining af, especially if you’re not a casual and love tol JuiJit su.
Potential top tier star ⭐️, if not already!
Whte Powr, man 💪🏻. UK needs every bit of it now during the mass immigration
@@JamesGreen57447 Whatchu mean white power, bro?
Paul Craig been that guy for years
Hill is a boss. His arm was flapping about like a noodle. But he was still putting down the hammer fists.
Yeah I saw that 😂 fair play to him
Unreal how dangerous off his back he is.
Love this warrior!
Legend of comebacks
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!
That's not really how it works, UFC doesn't give a shit who becomes stars. More stars means more money for UFC and it's always up to the fighters to become one.
@thomaslunde5014 this is moronic. They push who they want. Sometimes it works some times it doesn't. But to deny it is simply hilarious
@@CloudianMH So you are agreeing with OP's statement that the only reason why Paul is not a star is because of the UFC? That's ridiculous, big personalities and exiting fight styles creates stars, i despise Conor but he did not become a star just because UFC decided to make him one.
you are correct bro dont listen to these fools@@thomaslunde5014
@@thomaslunde5014the only reason Paul craig isn’t a household name is because he hasn’t had a push from the ufc, that’s not a debatable thing, he’s best both hill and ankalaev who are inside the top 5 right now I believe, how that isn’t someone worth of being at the very least well known is beyond me.
Paul Craig: a maniac during the stairdown. Lays on his back during fights.
Sean Strickland: trashtalks during fights. Point fights most of the time.
Still big fan of both.
Amazing technique.
His coach immediately jumping on the ooctagon is cool 😅
He probably won't ever be champ, but you gotta love and respect that kill or be killed fighting style
Man Paul Craig’s finishes are pretty stone cold deadly 😂😂 who knew? Lol
Paul craig is so underated! He tapped jamahal hill and ankalaev !
Dude has the best guard in the UFC right now
Paul Craig and Charles Olivera are the most exciting jiu jitsu guys by far
Imagine Jamahal Hill beats Pereira for the belt after Ankalaev beats Johnny Walker in their rematch in February and then Ank fights Jamahal for the 205 belt...
Yeah...Paulie beat em both. And he's a MW now. One of my favorite fighters, for sure. He's always pulling off some crazy shit and proving the odds wrong. Incredible fighter. He always goes to war.
That Jamahal Hill finish looked like an Anaconda suffocating its prey to death😟
Man is a BEAST!!
I imagine most of us who've never been in the position can't imagine the terror of basically having your windpipe crushed. That's what makes you tap with 5 seconds to go. Your sensible brain!
If you ever tried to triangle someone, you know Craig's triangle is deadly, people are tapping in less than 5 seconds into the triangle.
Keith picking up his cigarette @2:56 😂
Was it actually a cigarette? 😂
What a spot! Haha thats so Kieth pieterson!
This man gets a triangle in so quickly its wild.. ma full guard must be scary with him😂
3:03 wow this was too smooth till the end
That Krylov finish makes me so sad. Nikita is such a forgotten fighter
His ground game is crisp
I can’t wait to see how this guy fairs at 185 he looked huge in his last fught
Such a beautiful submissions he created Paul is beast ❤
i just love his coach rear naked chocking him out of joy every time it happens
Great vid 👍
Paul Craig is an absolute killer he took the strongest scalps of almost all fighters in LHW! In the middle division, this guy in the cage weighs 100 kg of pure muscle, he is a different beast, a master of ground wrestling and a submission predator who can finish anyone in any position, let's remember Ankalaev, Jamahal Hill and Kennedy and many more dangerous fighters than Allen. With all my heart with Craig EASY MONEY!
I am always entertained when this gentleman fights
He is in more danger from his own corner this dude!
This Saturday will be my 16 year old sons first time seeing Paul Craig fight. Definitely gonna introduce him through this video even though I feel like this video missed out on the time remaining in each round for them super late stoppages. Add some bonus, LETS GO PAUL!
The Ankalaev finish is still so crazy to me, he was getting hammered the whole fight and all it took was one mistake from Magomed
The Clutch king!
man I was tired and about to sleep and I found Paul Craig wow he is a gem. I am a fan but he is truly brutal
Paul Craig is a beast!! He’s got a heart of a warrior. Super excited for his match against Brendan Allen. 👏👏👏👏
As a bjj guy myself, I thought my go to move (triangle) was good but his is awesome. I like this guy Craig. And from both sides!
You know a fighter is special when he’s got 10 min of finishes
I’ve never seen a flower sweep in mma, that was a thing of beauty
Paul Craig is a giant killer - he is the most dangerous down but not out fighter in mma history. Only grappler that is entertaining like the top tier strikers.
Paul Craig: 17-6-1
Vs corner man celebrations in the UFC: 0-2 (1 NC)
Paul craig is dominant on the ground ❤
Ankalaev, why tap just go sleep... had 2 seconds left before bell
Imagine getting into this guy's guard and striking... I swear some fighters have never watched any tape on their opponents.
Классное видео!
It'd amazing after he gets his sub victory how his coach comes in and immediately subs him back. Teaching him to stay humble, now that's how you coach.
Love Paul Craig 🙌
Mf walks up like a custom character 🤣🤣🤣
With an obvious fatality!
Craig has amazing highlights
Man's got talent he just needs to put it together.
He's going to be a problem for the middleweight division. The extra weight will make his ground game harder for the lighter guys. Khamzat v Craig would be a good one.
Such a legend
Amazing wizard.
He need only one second for doing triangle 😂
Craig was on a what 4-5 fight winning streak in the UFC beating the likes of Hill and Krylov and the fight he lost he was #8 and again fought #9 - Oezdemir. The UFC just doesn't wanna promote Craig. With the wins he had, he should've been ranked top 5 and probably 1 win away from a title shot, instead he again fought a guy behind him in the rankings.
The Hill finish is seriously one of the more brutal ones, I remember watching this live and just being like damn…. Bro got totally outclassed and anatomically humiliated
Truly artist. His subs are beautiful.
Wow, that is one of the most dangerous guards I've ever seen.
One of the best Jitz finishers since Demian Maia.
MAGICIAN
Dude is awsome
Paul Craig now fights at Middleweight, a matchup between him and Roman Dolidze would display really high levels of grappling.
They both kinda look the same too
This Guy is like a assassin bug, you mustn't let him grab you.
Paul Craig is real LHW Champ 😂😂😂
I know it's a joke, but he got smoked by Johnny walker, and we seen what Jamahal Hill did to Walker. MMA math at it's finest.
@@GFromTheLou_502 He beat Jamahal though.
I actually got Paul to win this weekend we’ll see 🤞
was dude at 3:11 really trying to convince the ref he didn't tap?! haha OK buddy
He never stops when they tap!!
He has never won a pro MMA bout without stoppage. With his style he can still be a champion at late 30s.
The style of getting your head absolutely battered until you catch someone with a sub is not a strategy that speaks to a long career.
Paul craig underrated should of had a title shot by now in my opinion
Hill and ankalaev got pushed by the ufc, Paul didn't. It's simple.
Ankalaev, Jamahal, Krylov, Shogun. He's awesome
Craig will put his hands down by his side in bottom position to happily take a few punches in the head just to invite his opponent in, beautiful work!!
So weird to think that when people have him mounted or on his back that THEY are actually the ones in danger 😆
It's easy to say Craig isn't good but bro, the resumè and how he did it is quite crazy and impressive, they almost can't stop him most times
No one is saying that Craig isn't any good, he is a danger to absolutely anyone on the ground.
