UFC Paris: Predictions, odds, and picks for Modestas Bukauskas vs. Paul Craig fight
In the upcoming UFC Paris 4 event on Saturday, an intriguing matchup between Modestas Bukauskas and Paul Craig is set to take place in the light heavyweight division.
Bukauskas, the favourite with a -355 betting line, boasts a win streak of three fights and has never been taken down in nearly two years in the UFC. His takedown defence fundamentals are strong, and he displays a powerful striking game, with his punches coming straight down the pipe. Bukauskas has only been submitted once in his professional career, back in 2016.
On the other hand, Craig, the underdog with a +280 betting line, is known for his unorthodox fighting style. He has a habit of turning fights into abnormal skirmishes, often dominating opponents who are considered superior on paper. Craig has secured six of his nine UFC victories while fighting off his back and is an expert at dragging fights to the ground in any way imaginable. However, his last fight in the light heavyweight division did not yield the desired result.
Craig's last win at 205 pounds was against Nikita Krylov in March 2022. His record stands at 17-9-1, with one no-contest. Craig tends to lose most of his fights by knockout, but Bukauskas does not possess one-punch power.
The final prediction for this fight is Bukauskas (-355); OVER 1.5 Rounds (-154). However, the fight could result in a weird 15-minute decision due to Craig's unique approach to the fight.
Modestas Bukauskas' last win was against Ion Cutelaba at UFC 315, and his record now stands at 18-6. Bukauskas has only been submitted once in his professional career, in his second fight in 2016.
As the UFC Paris 4 event approaches, fans are eagerly anticipating this matchup between two skilled fighters with contrasting styles. Will Bukauskas continue his win streak, or will Craig pull off an upset? Only time will tell.
