Craig told BBC Scotland earlier “He’s not fought in the UFC before, he’s not fought under the bright lights – that’s quite an intense thing,Kennedy is a striker and very, very raw and sometimes rawness doesn’t work when you’re up against somebody who’s skilled.I’m a very high-level grappler, so wrestling, jiu-jitsu – submission is what I’m looking for. I use a lot of my energy trying to get submissions because what I want is an exciting fight. I don’t want a boring fight. “
