Cage Warriors champion Bukauskas believes successful title defense will earn UFC deal

With a deep-running family heritage in the martial arts, it is no surprise that Cage Warriors light heavyweight champion, Modestas Bukauskas, is continuing the lineage that has come before him as he looks to create his own history on his journey to the pinnacle of the game. He intends to take the next, significant step towards his ultimate goal on Friday night when he faces the dangerous Italian, Riccardo Nosiglia, for his first title defence in the Indigo at the O2. Bukauskas (9-2) is one of three belt holders on the Cage Warriors 111 card and is looking to seize the opportunity to consolidate his position as one of the best in Europe after devoting his life to the sport.
