Super Lutas was first to report the booking. UFC Fight Night
224 takes place at the O2 Arena in London on July 22 and is
headlined by a heavyweight clash between Tom
Aspinall and Marcin
Tybura.
After going unbeaten in five Octagon appearances from September
2019 to March 2022, Craig is coming off back-to-back light
heavyweight defeats against Volkan
Oezdemir and Johnny
Walker. The Scot known as “Bearjew” is 8-6-1 during his UFC
tenure with notable victories over the likes of Jamahal
Hill, Nikita
Krylov, Mauricio Rua
and Magomed
Ankalaev.
Muniz, meanwhile, had a nine-bout winning streak snapped in his
last outing at UFC Fight Night 220, where he suffered a third-round
submission loss to Brendan
Allen. The Brazilian’s resume includes Octagon triumphs over
the likes of Uriah Hall,
Eryk
Anders and Ronaldo
Souza.
