Undefeated Scottish light heavyweight Paul Craig has this afternoon taken to twitter to announce he will be facing Tyson Pedro at UFC 209 this March.
Craig (9-0) made his promotional debut last month at UFC on Fox 22 where he defeated Luis Henrique da Silva via 2nd round armbar submission.
Now the former BAMMA light heavyweight champion who has finished all 9 of his professional fights inside 2 rounds will look to inflicted the same fate on his upcoming opponent when they meet at the T-Mobile Arena.
His opponent Pedro (5-0) also made a successful UFC debut late November when the Australian submitted Khalil Rountree in the opening round of their fight at UFC Fight Night 101 and will look to claim his sixth successive submission win when he faces the talented Scotsman.
