Overview

• Light heavyweights Modestas Bukauskas and Paul Craig meet Saturday on the UFC Paris main card in a Britain‑vs‑Scotland matchup.
• Bukauskas rides a three‑fight UFC run earned by decision, submission and KO, calling Craig his toughest opponent to date and seeking a top‑15 next.
• The Lithuanian‑born Brit credits renewed discipline and full‑time training with Tom Aspinall’s team for his resurgence.
• Craig returns to 205 after an unsuccessful middleweight move, enters on a three‑fight skid with a recent no‑contest, and says a win starts his path back to title contention with a “queue jump pass.”
• Craig’s teammate says his striking has markedly improved, while Bukauskas insists he is preparing for threats in every phase.
