Bukauskas was the more technical, measured striker throughout, and stung Prachnio in a couple different moments, but his defensive efforts were lacking at times as well, giving the Polish veteran the opportunity to fire back and wobble him a couple times in return. But the real difference came on the canvas, where Bukauskas was able to secure the first two takedowns of his UFC career, pitting Prachnio to the mat.
Midway through the third, Bukauskas clamped onto an arm-triangle choke, and despite being in half-guard on the opposite side, “The Baltic Warrior” was still able to secure the finish. The submission gets Bukauskas back into the win column, elevating him to 3-1 since returning to the promotion at UFC 284 in Perth last year.
