UFC star Modestas Bukauskas returns to the same arena where he suffered a horror leg injury determined to re-write history.
Bukauskas, 29, was cut from the UFC just one month after having his knee blown out by Khalil Rountree Jr in their September 2021 fight. The Brit underwent two surgeries to reconstruct his knee and received a short-notice call-up to fight Tyson Pedro at UFC 284 in February after reclaiming his Cage Warriors light-heavyweight title.
'The Baltic Gladiator' capitalised on the opportunity and pulled off an impressive win against Pedro down under. Bukauskas now returns to the UFC Apex in Las Vegas for his fight against Zac Pauga this Saturday and it will mark a full-circle moment for the Brit having not stepped foot in the venue since his leg break against Rountree.
