This a fun matchup and a touch fight to pick. Nikita is the better overall fighter, but he is chinny as hell and Modestas is clearly a dangerous striker. I imagine Nikita is going to look to wrestle, but I will trust Modestas' takedown defense. So the pick will be the dangerous striker against the guy with the failing chin. But this is a good old fashion fun fight that could go either direction.

Nikita Krylov

Nikita Krylov is a well rounded guy with very good wrestling and striking. He has nice forward pressure and mixes his striking with grappling very well. He has solid takedowns and averages more than 2 per fight. He has a wealth of experience with some high level wins, but a sub par chin. He is coming off his second knockout loss in a row, this time to Bogdan Guskov

Modestas Bukauskas

Modestas Bukauskas is a very versatile striker who is dangerous on his feet. He can be a bit low volume which is why he has a negative striking differential. He has an 80% takedown defense and is typically a striker only. He is coming off the KO win over Paul Craig where he was engaging in the grappling like a moron, but landed an insane elbow to close it out.
