5 Predictions For UFC Fight Island: Whittaker Vs. Till
2. Paul Craig Vs. Gadzhimurad Antigulov
Scotlands Paul Craig has saved his UFC career with some unbelievably late submission win's but has managed to accumulate somewhat of a promising run in his last few fights with a win over Vinicius Moreira and a draw with Shogun Rua.
Antigulov has fallen to 2 defeats in a row following a rarely seen 14-fight win streak in MMA, something which will sting the Russian deeply. Antigulov's pressuring style may see him overwhelm Craig early in the fight, and with so many finishes on his record, the Scot could be in trouble if he doesn't earn Antigulov's respect in the outset.
However, if Antigulov doesn't respect the supreme BJJ skills that Craig presents, he could find himself in a world of trouble on the ground. Craig is renowned for sinking in fight-ending submissions in mere seconds, at all points throughout a fight, so the Russian must be switched on from bell to bell.
Prediction: Antigulov via TKO.
