WinTKO
UFC Fight Night: Hooker vs. Parnasse
5 Sep 2026
5 Sep 2026
Modestas Bukauskas lost the first round badly, then knocked Oumar Sy down with a clinch knee and finished him at 3:57 of the second.
Key moments
- Sy took a body kick into a single-leg, then mount, back and mount again with elbows and enough ground-and-pound that the referee warned Bukauskas to defend himself.
- Bukauskas came out for round two with visible damage under his right eye, reversed one of Sy's takedowns into side control, then took over on the feet as Sy's output dropped.
- A knee to the head sat Sy down and Bukauskas swarmed with punches until the referee intervened.
