Paul Craig scored an impressive T/KO win over Jamahal Hill in the opening fight of the main card. Craig locked Hill in nasty chain submissions and eventually broke his arm. However, as the referee was late to realize the damage on Hill’s arm, he absorbed more punishment from Craig before the referee stepped in to call an end to the fight.
It was a very late stoppage. Hill’s injury is one of the nastiest in the fans’ recent memory. Fighters like Amanda Nunes, Katlyn Chookagian, Rafael dos Anjos, and more took to Twitter to react to that fight.
