Pedro vs Bukauskas Prediction

Modestas Bukauskas is set to make his UFC return after a year-long absence. He went 2-0 in his time away from the promotion, most recently capturing the Cage Warriors Light Heavyweight Championship with a KO victory over Chuck Campbell back in December.

As for Tyson Pedro, his UFC run has been mixed. On one hand, he's only 5-3 under the company's umbrella. On the other, he's picked up back-to-back first-round knockout wins over Ike Villanueva and Harry Hunsucker in his last two contests.

This is a fight where you shouldn't overthink things because Pedro will be victorious. Bukauskas looked terrible in his previous UFC run, losing his last three fights with two of those losses coming by KO/TKO. Pedro has already showcased his finishing ability more than once in the UFC, giving him a big advantage this weekend.

Winner: Tyson Pedro
