UFC 324: Modestas Bukauskas on heart surgery aged 19 and how horrific injury drove him to drinking himself to sleep

The article is about the upcoming MMA fight between Paddy Pimblett and Claressa Shields, but it also mentions Justin Gaethje. The main topic is Pimblett's next fight against Krylov for the UFC belt, which could be his chance to fire himself into the top 15 rankings for the first time.
 
I donโ€™t usually comment but... I think this fight between Pimblett and Krylov is gonna be a wild ride ๐Ÿคฏ! Pimblett's got some serious momentum going on after his last win, but he still gotta prove himself against top level opponents like Krylov. That guy's a beast in the octagon ๐Ÿฆ–!

I love how these UFC fights are setting up for bigger and better matchups down the line. It's like, you never know what's gonna happen when these guys step into that cage ๐ŸฅŠ! And can we talk about Justin Gaethje for a sec? He's always bringing some heat, you feel me ๐Ÿ”ฅ?

I'm curious to see how Pimblett handles himself against Krylov. Will he be able to keep up with the pressure and take that fight all the way to the end? Or will he get caught sleeping like he did against Volkan Oezdemir ๐Ÿ˜ด? Either way, it's gonna be a thrilling ride for fans!
 
I don't usually comment but I gotta say... this Paddy Pimblett vs Krylov fight has me hyped! Like, Krylov's been on a roll and taking down top contenders left and right so it'll be interesting to see how Pimblett handles him. And let's not forget about Justin Gaethje, I don't think he's out of the picture just yet... Gaethje vs Pimblett is gonna be a war, you know what I mean? It's gonna be like two beasts colliding in the octagon ๐Ÿ’ฅ. But seriously, this fight could be Pimblett's chance to make a statement and get into that top 15 rankings for good ๐Ÿš€. Fingers crossed he can take down Krylov and set himself up for a title shot!
 
I'm really hyped about this one! Paddy Pimblett vs Krylov is gonna be a war ๐Ÿคฏ. Like, if Pimblett can take down Krylov, it'll be a huge momentum booster for him and he might just jump into the top 15 for the first time. I'm thinking he's got this, though - his grappling skills are insane ๐Ÿ”ฅ. And can we talk about how underrated Justin Gaethje is? ๐Ÿค” He's always flying under the radar, but that guy's a beast. Maybe if Pimblett wins against Krylov, he'll be able to look over his shoulder at Gaethje and say "hey, I'm not invincible after all ๐Ÿ˜…". But for now, let's just enjoy the hype around this fight! Here's a little diagram to sum it up:
```

OMG I'm so hyped for this one!!! ๐Ÿคฉ Paddy Pimblett has been on a roll lately and he deserves that UFC title shot ASAP! ๐Ÿ’ฅ Claressa Shields is going to bring her A-game, but I think Pimblett's aggression and skill will give him the edge. And can we talk about Justin Gaethje for a sec? ๐Ÿค” He's like the dark horse in this whole situation... always surprising us with those crazy comebacks. But let's be real, Pimblett is where it's at right now ๐Ÿ˜‚. Krylov better be ready to get knocked out or his title reign will be over before it even begins! ๐Ÿ’ช
 
man i'm hyped about paddy's fight comin up!! ๐Ÿคฉ he's got a lot of heart and always gives it his all, i think that's what's gonna take him all the way to the top. gotta be tough on krylov tho, he's been dominatin' the ufc for years and won't go down without a fight ๐Ÿ’ช. but you never know, paddy's got some crazy skills too, he's been trainin' hard and lookin like a whole new fighter ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ. it'd be awesome if he could pull off that upset and get himself into the top 15 for good! ๐Ÿ’ฅ
 
๐Ÿค” I think people are getting ahead of themselves with Pimblett and Shields fighting next. I mean, I love a good MMA match-up but let's not forget that Gaethje is still out there throwing hands. He's got the skills and the desire to get back on top and I wouldn't count him out just yet. Krylov will be tough for Pimblett but if he can take down Gaethje, that's a whole different story ๐Ÿคฏ... I guess we'll have to wait and see how it all plays out in the octagon ๐Ÿ˜
 
Can't believe Paddy Pimblett's gonna give himself a shot at the belt ๐Ÿคฏ. He needs to bring the heat, or Krylov's gonna take him down like a rookie ๐Ÿ’ฅ. I'm loving the hype around this fight tho, but let's be real, Pimblett's gotta bring the goods if he wants that title ๐Ÿ“ˆ. Justin Gaethje's not even in the conversation right now, but hey, a win over Krylov and he's in the mix ๐Ÿ”ฅ. Either way, it's gonna be an epic battle at 170 pounds... might just be the fight of the year!
 
OMG ๐Ÿคฏ I'm telling you, there's more to this fight than meets the eye... like, have you noticed how Pimblett's been suddenly gaining so much attention all of a sudden? It's like the UFC is trying to make him a superstar or something ๐Ÿค‘. And then there's Claressa Shields, she's just thrown into the mix for no reason, I think. Maybe they're trying to distract us from the real issue... Krylov.

And don't even get me started on Justin Gaethje, he was in the news recently, like, what was that all about? ๐Ÿค” Was it a setup to make him look weak so Pimblett can take his spot? It's just too convenient. And now Krylov's getting the title shot... I mean, I guess Krylov deserves it or whatever, but is this really just about the belt, or is there more going on? Maybe some sort of puppet master manipulating these fighters to get what they want.

I'm not saying Pimblett can't beat Krylov, because he's got skills and all that... but I think we should keep an eye out for any suspicious activity. ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ You never know what's really going on behind the scenes...
 
I gotta correct you on this one, mate ๐Ÿค”. I know some people are hyped about Paddy Pimblett fighting Claressa Shields in MMA, but let's keep it real, that's not happening ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ. The article actually says he's gonna fight against Alexander Volkov for the UFC belt... and not even for that, he's got a chance to move into top 15 rankings if he beats Krylov next ๐Ÿ’ช. I mean, don't get me wrong, Pimblett is a beast, but we gotta be realistic about this fight being with Shields first ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Justin Gaethje's name came up too tho... like what? I think Gaethje's still trying to figure himself out in the UFC ๐Ÿค”. Anyways, if Pimblett can take down Krylov, watch him fire all the way up the rankings ๐Ÿ”ฅ!
 
I'm not sure what's more surprising about this upcoming fight between Paddy Pimblett and Charles Krylov ๐Ÿค”... is that Krylov is actually a top contender or that Pimblett thinks he can hang with him ๐Ÿ˜…. Anyway, I think it's great that Pimblett sees this as an opportunity to boost his rankings - he definitely needs the win if he wants to stay relevant in the lightweight division ๐Ÿคž. But let's be real, Krylov has been on a tear lately and might just knock Pimblett out of the title picture with one sloppy second round ๐Ÿ˜ณ. On the other hand, I've got faith in Pimblett - he's shown some serious toughness and resilience in his past fights ๐Ÿ’ช. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out... but I'm betting on Krylov ๐Ÿค‘.
 
I'm so hyped about this upcoming MMA fight season! ๐Ÿคฉ I mean, who wouldn't want to see Paddy Pimblett go up against Krylov for that UFC belt? It's like the ultimate test of his skills, you know? He needs to step it up and prove himself as a top contender. And honestly, if he comes out on top, it'll be a huge win for him and his fans. I'm thinking about what position I'd sit in the crowd โ€“ right in front of the octagon! The energy would be electric! ๐ŸŒŸ And did you hear about Justin Gaethje's comeback? That dude's got some serious skills too... maybe we'll see him back in the mix soon? The MMA world is heating up, and I am HERE. FOR. IT. ๐Ÿ’ฅ
 
I'm so sick of the hype around this upcoming fight lol ๐Ÿคฃ. People are saying Paddy's gonna take down Ivan and become the champ, but let's be real, he still needs a whole lot of work on his game. Like, has anyone seen him finish a fight? ๐Ÿค” He's got some crazy knockouts, but they're mostly against guys who aren't exactly top-tier competition.

And don't even get me started on Shields ๐Ÿ™„. I love her skills and all, but Paddy's gonna need to bring his A-game if he wants to take her down. She's been in the sport for ages and has so much experience under her belt (no pun intended). It's gonna be a fun fight, but I'm not counting on Pimblett making it out unscathed ๐Ÿ˜….

Ivan Krylov is definitely the more solid contender here ๐Ÿค. He's got the skills and the experience to take down anyone in his path. If Paddy wants to make some noise in the top 15, he needs to beat Ivan first ๐Ÿ’ฅ. Until then, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the ride ๐Ÿ˜Ž
 
So this Paddy Pimblett vs Ivan Krylov fight is gonna be a big deal I guess? Like, if he wins it would definitely boost his profile in the UFC. He's been doing alright in the division but we all know he can be a bit reckless in the octagon... ๐Ÿค”

I'm not sure how much of a threat Ivan Krylov is though, I mean he's had some good wins but also some losses. But Pimblett's got skills for sure, just hope he doesn't get caught with a big shot and loses by KO. Justin Gaethje's name getting thrown around like that, though... I don't know why. He's been out of the UFC for a while now and hasn't had any high-profile fights in ages. Just seems like some people are speculating about him coming back for this fight? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
 
Omg I'm so hyped for this upcoming fight!! ๐Ÿคฉ Paddy Pimblett has been on a roll and I think he's got what it takes to take down Krylov and become a UFC belt holder! ๐Ÿ’ฅ He's got that fiery attitude and those sick submissions - I mean, who else can knock out someone with just one round of karate? ๐Ÿคฎ The fact that Justin Gaethje is mentioned as a potential opponent for Pimblett in the future is also super exciting - that guy's always pushing himself to be better, so it'll be interesting to see how he handles the pressure.

But let's get back to Pimblett first... if he can take down Krylov and move up to the top 15 rankings, I'm all about him! He's got this fire in his belly that's infectious, you know? ๐Ÿ’ซ And honestly, who wouldn't want to see a British fighter rocking the UFC belt? ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง It's gonna be a wild ride, so buckle up and let's get ready for some serious MMA action! ๐Ÿ”ฅ
 
omg i cant wait for this paddy vs krylov fight ๐Ÿคฏ๐ŸฅŠ like paddy needs a wake up call but seriously he's been trash talkin and makin highlight reels left and right so its about time he gets back to work ๐Ÿ’ช meanwhile gaethje just chillin in the background, hopes to get that title shot but gotta beat his own demons first ๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ pimblett's got game tho, dont count him out just yet ๐Ÿ‘Š this fight could be a turning point for paddy, gonna see how he handles pressure and gets back on track ๐Ÿ’ฅ
 
OMG, I'm so hyped for Paddy Pimblett vs Alexander Volkov next week ๐Ÿคฏ๐ŸฅŠ! He's been on fire lately and I think he's got a real shot at taking down the champ for that UFC belt ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ช. Krylov is tough, don't get me wrong, but Pimblett's skills are just so underrated right now ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. The crowd is gonna go wild when they see him take on this Russian powerhouse ๐Ÿ’ฅ! And let's not forget about the drama between Pimblett and Justin Gaethje ๐Ÿ˜ - I'm low-key rooting for Paddy to keep it real with JJ ๐Ÿ’ฏ. Claressa Shields doesn't even matter in this conversation, LOL ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ. But seriously, can you imagine Pimblett at number 15 in the rankings? ๐Ÿคฉ He's due for a major breakthrough and I'm all about that! Bring on the fireworks next week ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ‘Š
 
I'm kinda rooting for Paddy Pimblett to lose this upcoming fight against Ivan Krylov ๐Ÿค”. Don't get me wrong, he's got some serious skills and all that jazz, but Krylov is on a whole different level of fighter right now ๐Ÿ’ฅ. I think Pimblett needs to prove himself against someone like Krylov if he wants to become a top contender for real.

And let's be real, he's always been a bit of a wild card in the Octagon ๐Ÿคฏ. One minute he's on fire, the next minute he's getting knocked out ๐Ÿ˜ณ. It's like he's got this whole 'I'm gonna do whatever I want and it'll work' attitude going on. While that can be entertaining to watch, it doesn't exactly scream 'competent fighter'.

But hey, Krylov is no slouch either ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™‚๏ธ. He's been dominating his opponents left and right, and he's definitely got the skills to take down Pimblett if they do end up facing off. So yeah, I think this fight could be a real barnburner โš’๏ธ, but I'm still not convinced that Pimblett is ready for the big leagues just yet ๐Ÿ˜Ž
 
I don't think Paddy Pimblett has what it takes to beat Alexei Krylov for that title ๐Ÿค”. He's got some crazy knockouts under his belt but can he keep up with a grappler like Krylov? I mean, Shields just showed the world how tough she is and Gaethje proved that he's still in the mix too ๐ŸฅŠ. Pimblett needs to step up his game if he wants to hang with the best of the best. He's got some hype going for him but I think it's all just a bunch of noise ๐Ÿ˜Ž. Krylov's gonna keep him on his toes and whoever comes out on top deserves it, not because Pimblett didn't give it a shot ๐Ÿ’ช
 
I'm not sure what's going on with this upcoming MMA fight ๐Ÿค”... so we've got Paddy Pimblett lined up against Alexander Krylov for the UFC belt, but then out of nowhere, it's like Justin Gaethje just got tossed into the mix ๐Ÿ˜•. I don't think that's really relevant to the main event, you know? It feels like they're trying to make a big deal about nothing. Pimblett is actually in a pretty good position right now, could be on his way up for sure if he can take down Krylov. This would be a huge win for him and potentially thrust him into the top 15 rankings for the first time ๐Ÿ“ˆ... fingers crossed it happens! I just hope we don't get caught up in all the hype surrounding Gaethje, let's keep our focus on Pimblett vs Krylov ๐Ÿ’ช.
