Modestas Bukauskas is a Lithuanian light heavyweight and former two-time Cage Warriors champion who built his base as a four-time British kickboxing champion. Eleven of his twenty career wins have come by knockout, and he has proven durable enough to survive rocky stretches and rebuild. A four-fight win streak was snapped by a TKO loss to Nikita Krylov at UFC 324, but he answered immediately with a split-decision win over late-replacement Christian Edwards in May 2026. He now looks to spoil Sy's homecoming and push back toward the light heavyweight top 15.
