Ibo Baraniewski weighing UFC replacement offer against Blachowicz

Polish fighter Ibo Baraniewski has revealed he is considering an offer from the UFC to replace Jan Blachowicz in an upcoming fight. Baraniewski acknowledges both pros and cons to accepting the opportunity, calling it 'huge' and noting it would be a significant bout for only his third UFC appearance. Active negotiations are ongoing between his manager and UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard. Baraniewski already has a fight scheduled for June 6 against Billy Elekana, adding complexity to the decision. His coaches are also involved in the decision-making process as key stakeholders.
