Paul Craig will headline his first main event at UFC Fight Night 232 against Brendan Allen. It is Allen’s second main event for the UFC. Craig, who holds notable victories over Jamahal Hill and Magomed Ankalaev at light heavyweight, dropped down to middleweight in his last bout after consecutive losses at the higher weight class. Allen is on a four-fight win streak in the division, with the past three coming via rear-naked choke submissions.

In the pre-fight media interview of the event, Craig surprised many with his hilarious impersonation of Hollywood celebrities. He impersonated Arnold Schwarzenegger and Christopher Walken. They are two old-school legends in Hollywood. Incidentally, Craig’s nickname is ‘Bear Jew,’ which is the name of a character from the popular Hollywood movie directed by Quentin Tarantino, The Inglorious Bastards.
