Nikita "The Miner" Krylov and Modestas "The Baltic Gladiator" Bukauskas square off at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas during UFC 324. Both fighters seek redemption and victory as they compete on the undercard of Justin Gaethje vs Paddy Pimblett.
Krylov fights to overcome his recent loss, having suffered a knockout against Bogdan Guskov last year. With 30 wins, including 12 by knockout, his resilience will test Bukauskas. However, Krylov's struggles against power hitters might help Bukauskas.
