Modestas Bukauskas (16-6 MMA, 4-4 UFC) made good on his first time fighting in his home country in the UFC, submitting Marcin Prachnio with an arm triangle choke in the third round of their UFC 304 light heavyweight contest last Saturday.
The night featured a lot of firsts for “The Baltic Gladiator”: his first UFC takedowns, his first UFC submission, and, of course, his first UFC appearance in the United Kingdom.
Bukauskas had fought his previous four UFC fights in enemy territory: Khalil Rountree Jr. and Zac Pauga in the United States at the Apex; Tyson Pedro in Perth, Western Australia; and Vitor Petrino in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
