Ivo Baraniewski has confirmed he is considering the UFC's offer to step in as a replacement for Jan Blachowicz in an upcoming fight.

Baraniewski stated that hot discussions are ongoing between his manager and UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard regarding the details of the fight. He emphasized that his coaches are also key decision-makers in this process and are carefully evaluating the situation.
