Ivo Baranievski considers stepping in as replacement for Jan Błachowicz

Polish fighter Ivo Baranievski has revealed that the UFC has offered him a short-notice replacement opportunity to step in for Jan Błachowicz. He acknowledged that this would be a significant fight, especially for only his third UFC appearance, and noted there are both pros and cons to accepting. Active negotiations are underway between his management and UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard, with both sides exchanging proposals. Baranievski's coaches are heavily involved in the decision-making process. He is currently scheduled to face Billy Elekana on June 6, which complicates the replacement scenario.
