Modestas Bukauskas (born 10 February 1994) is a Lithuanian-British mixed martial artist who competes in the Light Heavyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He is the former two-time Cage Warriors Light Heavyweight Champion.

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Bukauskas, a four-time British Kickboxing Champion[2] compiled a 10–2 record on the UK MMA scene, fighting mostly for the Cage Warriors promotion, where he won the Cage Warriors Light Heavyweight Championship by knocking out 7-time Norwegian national wrestling champion Marthin Hamlet in the fourth round at Cage Warriors 106. He then went on to defend his title at Cage Warriors 111 against Riccardo Nosiglia by knocking Nosiglia out with elbows to the head after Nosiglia tried for a takedown.[3]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Bukauskas was scheduled to face Vinicius Moreira at UFC on ESPN: Kattar vs. Ige on 16 July 2020. However, Moreira tested positive for COVID-19 on 3 July and was removed from the event.[4] Moreira was replaced by Andreas Michailidis.[5] He won the bout via TKO after Michailidis couldn't get up at the end of the round due to a series of elbows to the side of the head. Bukauskas in the process became the first Lithuanian to win in the UFC.[6] This win earned him the Performance of the Night award.[7]

Bukauskas faced Jimmy Crute on 18 October 2020 at UFC Fight Night: Ortega vs. The Korean Zombie.[8] He lost the fight via knockout in round one.[9]

Bukauskas faced Khalil Rountree Jr. on 4 September 2021, at UFC Fight Night 191.[12] He lost the fight via technical knockout in round two after Rountree side kicked his front leg causing an injury.[13]

On 20 October 2021, it was announced that Bukauskas was no longer on the UFC roster.[14]

In his first performance post UFC release, Bukauskas returned from a year layoff due to a knee surgery to defeat Lee Chadwick via unanimous decision on 4 November 2022, at Cage Warriors 145.[15]

Bukauskas faced Chuck Campbell for the vacant Cage Warriors Light Heavyweight Championship on 31 December 2022, at Cage Warriors 148, knocking him out in the fourth round to regain the title.[16]
