Craig was on a what 4-5 fight winning streak in the UFC beating the likes of Hill and Krylov and the fight he lost he was #8 and again fought #9 - Oezdemir. The UFC just doesn't wanna promote Craig. With the wins he had, he should've been ranked top 5 and probably 1 win away from a title shot, instead he again fought a guy behind him in the rankings.
