Paul Craig is on a hot streak currently after submitting Nikita Krylov at UFC London. The Scottish fighter has been submitting everyone at the last minute and that continued on Saturday.

Paul Craig had said in the past that he wanted to retire at 35. Now at 34, the Scottish UFC fighter is in an excellent place in his career and retirement would just be silly at this point.

“I felt like 35 was a number where you could leave the sport, still have your mental clarity, and still feel good about yourself,” Craig told Ariel Helwani during his Monday appearance on The MMA Hour after UFC London. “The sport’s evolved so much since I first started watching the sport to now, I believe that I’ve got a little bit more mustard in the tub.

“You know that wee bit in the corner where you really can’t really get with the knife. I’ve got that wee bit of mustard still left in me.

“I’ve still got a lot of mental clarity. My fights don’t go that long, and the ones that do go long, I typically don’t get a lot of head shots. It’s mostly body shots, a lot of grappling. So I believe I’ve still got something left in me, and after that victory this weekend, I believe that I’ve got more to do in this sport and I’m so close to being a name in this sport.”

Paul Craig surprised many new fans with his performance at UFC London. The Scottish fighter took a lot of damage before sinking in the fight-ending submission.

“Let’s be honest, watching that fight Saturday night, I bet there was people who have never seen me fight before who were like, ‘Paul Craig, he’s done,” he added. “He’s about to get knocked out and it’s game over for him.’

“And then there’s people who know how I fight and have seen me fight before and fight the exact same way who were like, ‘No, he’s still in. Old Braveheart is still in, man. He’s got a wee bit left.’ And I showed it Saturday night against a top-level opponent.”
