Overview
- Krylov defeated Bukauskas by TKO at 4:57 of Round 3 on the UFC 324 preliminary card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
- An overhand right dropped Bukauskas with three seconds left, and referee Marc Goddard halted the bout after short follow-up shots.
- Two judges had Krylov ahead after Rounds 1 and 2, while a third had the fight even before the late finish.
- The result returned Krylov to the win column and ended Bukauskas’ four-fight streak that included three stoppages.
- In his post-fight interview, Krylov called for a rematch with former champion Jan Blachowicz, and the late stoppage likely positions him for a $25,000 finish bonus under the UFC’s new awards.
