Modestas Bukauskas believes a potential fight against Paul Craig at UFC 286 in London would prove who the best light-heavyweight from Britain is.
Bukauskas, 29, triumphantly returned to the UFC earlier this month by winning a decision against Tyson Pedro in Australia. His first stint in the promotion ended when he was cut in 2021 after losing three consecutive fights, but Bukauskas received a second chance on less than two weeks' notice to face Pedro after his original opponent withdrew.
‘The Baltic Gladiator’ called out top contender Craig after beating Pedro and is keen on making a quick turnaround as he wants the fight to take place at the UFC’s upcoming pay-per-view event in London on March 18. Bukauskas believes that he and Craig are currently the two best light-heavyweights in the world from Britain.
