This light heavyweight scrap in Paris is giving us two guys who love to get violent early. Bukauskas has been on a tear lately, finishing three straight fights in the first round. That elbow from guard that put Paul Craig to sleep in Paris last year? Nasty. Then he starched Rafael Cerqueira in just over two minutes in Seattle. The Baltic Gladiator is hunting finishes and he's not shy about it.
- Bukauskas hunting his fourth straight first round finish
- Sy looking to rebound from brutal Cutelaba guillotine
- Both fighters have faced Cutelaba with different results
If this gets out of the first round it'll be a shock, both guys come out swinging for the fences early.
Sy's had a wild ride in the UFC. He's got some slick grappling, like that rear naked choke finish over Tuco Tokkos where he controlled nearly the whole round before locking it in. But his last outing was rough, getting guillotined by Ion Cutelaba in the first round back in March. That's the same Cutelaba that Bukauskas beat by split decision last May, so there's a weird triangle of results here that makes this matchup super interesting. The technical side is fascinating. Bukauskas throws heavy and accurate, landing at 53 to 66 percent in his recent wins.
He's comfortable switching stances and finding angles. Sy's more of a grinder who mixes in takedowns and control time, like when he landed 97 strikes against Da Woon Jung. But here's the thing, when Sy gets caught, he gets caught hard. Bukauskas has that one shot power that ends nights early. This is a huge spot for both guys fighting in France. Sy needs to bounce back after that submission loss, while Bukauskas is trying to build real momentum in the division.
