Jamahal Hill reacted to Paul Craig's stunning submission win over Nikita Krylov at UFC London.

Craig earned his fourth straight win in the promotion with his victory against Krylov. He came into the contest on the back of a TKO win over Jamahal Hill. Craig registered a submisison win from the back against Krylov tonight, which prompted 'Sweet Dreams' to react as he wrote:

"1 mistake and that's all bearjew needs!!! Can't wait to see u again at the top!!!"

Craig put an end to Hill's undefeated professional record when the two fighters collided at UFC 263. Hill was left with a dislocated arm. It was one of the most gruesome injuries fans have seen a fighter suffer inside the octagon in recent times.

Craig has shown his superior submission skills on multiple occasions inside the octagon. He put it on display once again in his win over Krylov, as the 34-year-old managed to earn his 13th career win by submission against his Ukrainian counterpart. Krylov has now suffered two consecutive losses inside the octagon and his third defeat in his last four UFC fights.

Craig, on the other hand, extended his winning streak to four tonight and is currently the 11th ranked light heavyweight in the UFC.
