Kristupas Janciauskas stepped into the MMA Bushido’99 cage as if it were just another normal school day — and that’s exactly how it looked. Only 18 years old, yet carrying a level of confidence many seasoned professionals still struggle to find. Kristupas defeated the well-known Lithuanian fighter Samuelis Sorochovas by technical knockout, and right after the win made it clear that his ambitions reach far beyond a single fight or a single opponent.

“At eighteen I’m only getting started. I’m here for the long run. I’m the future face of this organisation, remember my name — this is just the beginning! We’re coming to hunt names. I like big fights, I like challenges. Step by step we’ll start hunting surnames and making big fights.”

Speaking about the future, Kristupas asks: “Who else is in the rankings? Who’s next?” He makes no secret of his intentions — winning alone isn’t enough. He wants his name among those already considered dangerous and full of potential. “I’d like to meet the fighters from Vilnius, let’s see whose name is bigger. I like big fights, I like challenges — let’s go conquer Vilnius.”

Kristupas’s performance and bold words showed that he is not entering the fight world quietly. He’s here for attention, big names and serious matchups. And it looks like this is only the beginning.

Kristupas’s next fight is scheduled for March 21, 2026, in Vilnius at TwinsBet Arena during the international event MMA Bushido’101.
