Baraniewski considering UFC offer to replace Blachowicz, discussing terms

Iwo Baraniewski has confirmed he is considering a UFC offer to step in as a replacement for Jan Blachowicz. The Polish fighter acknowledged there are both pros and cons to accepting the fight, calling it a huge opportunity. He revealed that hot discussions are ongoing between his manager and UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard, with proposals being exchanged by both sides. Baraniewski noted that his coaches are key decision-makers in the process. However, he already has a bout scheduled for June 6 against Billy Elekana, which complicates the situation. This would be only Baraniewski's third UFC appearance if accepted.
