Crute improved to 8-0 with a first-round technical knockout victory over Chris Birchler in a Contender Series bout on July 24. That earned “The Brute”, who hails from Altona Meadows, Victoria, Australia, a UFC contract. The 22-year-old is 8-0 as a professional, with five triumphs coming inside the distance.
Scotland’s Craig halted a two-bout skid with a third-round submission of Magomed Ankalaev at UFC Fight Night 127 on March 17. “Bearjew” is 2-2 in the Las Vegas-based promotion and 10-2 as a pro. Nine of his career triumphs have come via submission.
