STEP INSIDE THE WORLD OF ELITE MMA

In mixed martial arts, every exchange presents a new challenge. The ability to adapt, recognise opportunities and finish a fight can make all the difference.

Paul “Bearjew” Craig knows this better than most.

A Scottish UFC veteran, Craig built his reputation on his dangerous submission game, unorthodox approach and remarkable ability to finish elite opponents. With 17 professional victories, including 13 submissions, he became one of Scotland’s most accomplished MMA submission specialists.

His career features memorable victories over Magomed Ankalaev, Jamahal Hill and former UFC and PRIDE champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. Along the way, he earned eight UFC Performance of the Night bonuses and established himself as a distinctive figure in the sport.

A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, Craig is renowned for his ability to turn difficult positions into fight-ending opportunities. His approach demonstrates the importance of composure, technical awareness and recognising openings when the pressure is on.

Beyond the Octagon, Craig has featured on TNT Sports’ UFC coverage, sharing insights into the techniques, tactical decisions and defining moments of elite-level MMA.

Now, Vizeer Collective brings him to Glasgow for an exclusive opportunity to learn from the man behind the performances.

Whether you compete in MMA, train in another martial art or follow the sport as a passionate fan, this is your opportunity to gain insight into the mindset, techniques and experience of a fighter who has competed on the biggest stage.
