Representing both Lithuania and the United Kingdom, Modestas Bukauskas competes within the light heavyweight division. Before joining the global stage, he built his reputation as a two-time champion for Cage Warriors, utilizing a skill set deeply rooted in his background as a kickboxer. Since arriving at the top level in 2020, he holds the distinction of being the first Lithuanian athlete to secure a victory inside the Octagon. Following a period away from the promotion, he reclaimed his regional belt to facilitate a successful return to the roster in 2023.
Holding an overall professional mark of 20-7-0, he enters this matchup with four victories in his previous five appearances. His most recent showing resulted in a split decision win over Christian Edwards this past May. This performance followed a knockout loss to Nikita Krylov in January. Before that setback, he enjoyed a three-fight winning streak, overcoming Paul Craig by knockout, Ion Cuțelaba via split decision, and Raffael Cerqueira by way of strikes.
