Jamahal Hill has revealed he partied with Paul Craig all night long after the Scotsman dislocated his arm at UFC 263.
The previously unbeaten light-heavyweight prospect and Craig had some serious heat coming into the bout. Hill and ‘Bearjew’ even got into it at the fighter hotel last week and had to be separated.
On fight night, the beef was quickly settled. Craig pulled guard and immediately began working for submissions in round one. The BJJ speciliast eventually locked up an armbar which appeared to break the arm of his opponent – post-fight it was revealed Hill suffered a dislocation. Despite this, the referee refused to call the fight. Craig hammered away with nasty ground and pound before the fight was eventually called off.
On Monday, Hill took to social media to reveal his issue with Craig ended quickly post-fight. The two men even went out together for a few drinks and a boogie.
“Me and @PCraigmma are good so idc what anybody else is talking and not only did he get my drunk the whole night we straight turnt tf up!!! I’m blessed living my dream and meeting some of the most amazing ppl!!!#Stillwinning,” Hill wrote on Twitter alongside a picture of him and Craig dancing. “First thing he said in the cage to me was “I’m a good person, idk what was said but I have nothing but respect for you” an I realized I let trolls paint a picture and judge somebody off of that and it will ever happen again!!! I’m still going to talk my shit tho!!!”
Hill came into his fight with Paul with some serious hype. The 30-year-old secured his career-best win last time out when he TKO’d Ovince St Preux.
Craig had been in great form himself. The 33-year-old was unbeaten in four fights which included a high-profile win over Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua. Craig was awarded his BJJ black belt after once again impressing with his grappling skills inside the Octagon at UFC 263.

As great as Paul Craig’s night was inside the octagon, it got a little bit better afterwards.
Craig squared off against Jamahal Hill on the main card of UFC 263. Their pairing was seen by many as a classic ‘striker vs grappler’ matchup, and it very much lived up to the billing.
The fight saw Craig pull guard early on in the contest and begin to isolate Hill’s arm. He quickly chained together a number of submission attempts, the last of which bent Hill’s arm at a horrific angle, causing it to dislocate at the elbow. Despite the obvious injury, the referee overseeing the bout, Al Guinee, somehow didn’t notice it and allowed the bout to continue. Craig continuously tried to get Guinee to stop the fight, but when his pleas fell on deaf ears, he transitioned to a triangle and let loose a number of elbows and hammerfists to mercifully draw the stoppage.
Although the victory was officially entered into the books as a TKO, Craig was honored by his coaches after the fight for his ground game. Chris Bungard, Craig’s training partner at Scottish Hit Squad, posted a video on Twitter showing coach Brian Gallagher awarding Craig his Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt.
“My brother (Craig) receiving his Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt after his massive win at UFC 263 from my coach (Gallagher),” Bungard wrote. “Toasting him and giving respect to a proper warrior (Hill).”
The win pushed Craig to 4-0-1 in his last 5 outings after starting his UFC career 3-4. It also earned him his sixth ‘Performance of the Night’ bonus, and kept his 100% finishing rate intact. His draw against ‘Shogun’ Rua in their initial meeting remains the only time Craig has made it to the scorecards.
After entering the event #14 in the rankings, Craig can expect to face a top-10 opponent his next time out. Whoever he faces, they’d probably be best advised to avoid going to the ground with the newly promoted black belt.
