UFC Record Breakdown
The Baltic Gladiator was riding some serious momentum before this matchup got scrapped. Bukauskas has been on a tear lately, finishing Rafael Cerqueira in just over two minutes back in Seattle, then submitting Marcin Prachnio with a nasty arm triangle in Manchester. The Lithuanian switch hitter has found his groove in the UFC's light heavyweight division, mixing slick striking with opportunistic grappling. That elbow finish of Paul Craig in Paris last September showed he can end fights from anywhere. His most recent setback came against Nikita Krylov in January, getting stopped in the third round, but he'd won four straight before that.
This one heats up early because both guys love to press forward and neither has shown much interest in playing it safe.
Bellato brings a different kind of energy to this scrap. The Brazilian earned his UFC contract with violent finishes, and he showed that power again when he slept Luke Fernandez with ground and pound in just under three minutes this past March. But here's the thing, Trator has had a weird run since then. That no contest against Paul Craig in Atlanta was bizarre (illegal upkick, what a mess), and then he dropped a decision to Navajo Stirling in Perth. That majority draw with Jimmy Crute in Sydney showed he can hang in tough fights, but fans are still trying to figure out which version of Bellato shows up.
This matchup is all about who can impose their game first. Bukauskas has that switch stance trickiness and he's comfortable wherever the fight goes. Bellato is more of a straight ahead brawler who wants to get you down and finish you with ground strikes. Both guys have shown they can crack, and neither one is shy about hunting for the finish.
