Light heavyweights are the latest addition to the March 20 UFC event.
Paul Craig and Jamahal Hill will square off at the UFC Fight Night event, which does not currently have a publicly announced location or venue.
Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
Craig (14-4-1 MMA, 6-4-1 UFC) is currently riding the most successful stretch of his UFC tenure. Since kicking off his UFC career at 3-4, Craig has gone 3-0-1 in his most recent four outings. He most recently competed at UFC 255 in November, when he finished Mauricio Rua by submission due to punches.
Hill (8-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) has yet to lose a professional fight in his MMA career. A Dana White’s Contender Series alumnus, Hill has dominated thus far in his UFC career. Most recently, Hill finished longtime light heavyweight contender Ovince Saint Preux with strikes.
With the addition, the UFC Fight Night on March 20 lineup includes:
- Derek Brunson vs. Kevin Holland
- Cheyanne Buys vs. Kay Hansen
- Julia Avila vs. Julija Stoliarenko
- Max Griffin vs. Song Kenan
- Gustavo Lopez vs. Adrian Yanez
- Dricus Du Plessis vs. Trevin Giles
