Baraniewski considering offer to replace Blachowicz on short notice

Polish fighter Iwo Baraniewski has revealed he is actively considering the UFC's offer to step in as a replacement for Jan Blachowicz. Baraniewski acknowledged both pros and cons to accepting the fight, calling it a huge opportunity and expressing gratitude that the UFC thought of him. He noted that even for his third UFC appearance, this would be a really big fight. His manager is currently in hot discussions with matchmaker Mick Maynard, with proposals being exchanged from both sides. Baraniewski is already scheduled to fight Billy Elekana on June 6, making the timing particularly complex.
