Iwo Baraniewski
Rudy
Poland
UFC debut scheduled
Baraniewski will fight Ibo Aslan at UFC 323 on Dec. 6, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Baraniewski needed just one punch to secure a contract during his Contender Series victory over Mahamed Aly, and he'll now put his perfect 6-0 record on the line during his first UFC bout. The 26-year-old will certainly have momentum on his side against Aslan, who remains winless after two fights this year.

Secures contract with one punch
Baraniewski defeated Mahamed Aly via KO (Punches) at 0:20 of Round 1 at Dana White's Contender Series on Tuesday. After the show, he was one of four fighters to be officially awarded a UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Baraniewski came to MMA after a successful judo career, but you wouldn't know it from this performance, as one crisp right hand while Aly was exiting the pocket led to the finish. The Polish fighter actually has more knockouts (4) than submissions (2) in his professional MMA career, but his grappling background should give him a leg up at light heavyweight. He moves to 6-0-0 as a result of the victory.
