Taking on Cutelaba
Bukauskas will take on Ion Cutelaba in a light heavyweight bout at UFC 315 in Montreal on May 10, MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bukauskas is coming off two straight victories, most recently disposing of Raffael Cerqueira via KO (punches) in Round 1 of a fight back in February. That pushed his UFC record to 5-4, and he'll look for that sixth win against an opponent in Cutelaba who is also a winner of two straight but currently holds a losing record in the UFC at 8-9-1. Bukauskas is two inches taller and has five more inches of reach than Cutelaba.

Stoppage win in Seattle opener
Bukauskas defeated Raffael Cerqueira via KO (punches) at 2:12 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Entering with victories in three of four fights since returning to the UFC in February 2023, Bukauskas was given a favorable matchup here against Cerqueira, and he took advantage as a -275 favorite. Modestas has durability issues, but he also has legitimate power, as he showed here. He clipped Cerqueira with one huge blow which dropped him. A few follow-up shots later and referee Jeff Hoiby was stepping in. Nothing in Bukauskas' history would suggests he can keep this up against better competition, but he makes for nice depth in a division that needs all the quality fighters it can find.

Draws Cerqueira in February
Bukauskas will take on Raffael Cerqueira in a light heavyweight matchup at UFC Seattle on Feb. 22, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Bukauskas made the most of his lone UFC opportunity in 2024, defeating Marcin Prachnio via submission back in July -- it's his third win in his last four trips to the cage after going 2-1 in 2023. He now takes on a relative newcomer in Cerqueira, who was well-respected on the South American regional scene but didn't even last a minute in his company debut, getting finished by Ibo Aslan via TKO.

Finds submission win late
Bukauskas defeated Marcin Prachnio via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 3:12 of Round 3 at UFC 304 on Saturday in Manchester, England.
ANALYSIS
The end result was fine, but this was a pretty middling performance from Bukauskas. He had the better of the vast majority of the action, but he also got reckless on the feet on multiple occasions and paid for it in a major way. Bukauskas appeared to be on the verge of being finished in each of the final two frames, only to find a takedown each time which saved his bacon. Now in his second run with the company, Modestas has quietly won three of four since returning to the UFC back in February 2023.

Prachnio fight scheduled
Bukauskas is scheduled to compete against light heavyweight Marcin Prachnio at UFC 304 in Manchester on July 27, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Bukauskas will look to bounce back after getting knocked out by Vitor Petrino on Nov. 4. Before then, the former won his first two fights of 2023, defeating Tyson Pedro and Zac Pauga.
