Scotland’s rising star Paul “Bearjew” Craig has been the talk of the Light Heavyweight division since finishing Luis Henrique Da Silva via submission in his UFC debut at UFC on Fox 22 in December.

Paul spent some time with Tim Thompson and Josh Stephens on this week’s episode of the MMANews Podcast powered by Pony Keg Sports and talked about still trying to come down from the high of his UFC debut, his life in Scotland now that he is a big star, and how many times we can expect to see him step into the Octagon in 2017.
Just today it was announced that Paul will be fighting Tyson Pedro on March 4th at UFC 209 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Paul gave the guys his plans for 2017, “…I want to be active. That’s why. I don’t have a long time left on my clock in regards to fighting. I want to go out of this sport with my mind in tact and my body the same. I want to do as much damage as I possibly can, so two fights before the UFC Glasgow (Scotland) is achievable and I would like it to happen…”

In the third episode of 2017 the new MMANews Podcast, (presented by Pony Keg Sports) hosts Tim Thompson and Josh Stephens kick-off the show talking everything UFC 207. Weight issues, new champions, and the last time we will ever see a female pioneer? They also try their best to explain what went wrong in their first annual Pony Keg Pick’em!
The featured guest on this week’s show is current UFC Light Heavyweight and Scotland’s own Paul “Bearjew” Craig.
Listen to Tim and Josh talk to Paul about getting off that post UFC high, what it’s like for him walking every day as one of Scotland’s biggest stars, and why he thinks he will fight 5 times in 2017 and finish the year with a title shot.
Craig even went into deep detail on the story behind his infamous nickname “Bearjew”. That’s not true. We really tried and he refused to even give us a hint. Keeping the nickname history a secret. Brilliant!
On episode four of the MMANews Podcast, which drops next week here at MMANews.com, Tim Thompson and Josh Stephens will be back with another new exclusive interview and a preview of the inaugural LFA show, ACB 51, Invicta 21, and UFC Fight Night 103.
