Modestas Bukauskas faces a late opponent switch at UFC Vegas 117 on May 16, stepping in against UFC newcomer Christian Edwards at 215-pound catchweight after Rodolfo Bellato's removal was announced this week. Bukauskas (19-7), riding a strong second UFC stint with recent wins over Paul Craig but a January loss to Nikita Krylov, holds the experience edge with superior striking volume and knockout power in light heavyweight bouts. Edwards (8-4), a Bellator veteran making his Octagon debut on short notice, brings size advantages at 6'5" with 78-inch reach but faces rust and preparation disadvantages. Traders weigh Bukauskas' Octagon familiarity against Edwards' untested UFC pressure, with no reported injuries or weigh-in issues yet.
