Baraniewski was one of the biggest favorites on the card.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">With the finish, Baraniewski picked up his second UFC bonus in as many fights \u2013\u00a0and this one was worth twice as much as his December 89-second KO of Ibo Aslan at UFC 323. The 27-year-old Polish fighter has all his pro wins in the first round. His DWCS fight to earn a contract took just 20 seconds.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_gl gnt_em__el\" href=\"http:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/picture-gallery\/sports\/ufc\/2026\/03\/21\/iwo-baraniewski-vs-austen-lane-ufc-london-best-mma-photos\/89267672007\/\" data-t-l=\"\u2691g:l|l|c|view gallery:inline promo\" aria-label=\"View Gallery - Iwo Baraniewski def.

I trained in three clubs: My club, a club in Bosnia, and a club in Warsaw, I sparred with Jan Blachowicz and Roman Dolidze, who fought right before me. So preparation was very hard, and I&#8217;m very happy with it. For me, it was very good experience. I learned new moves for my game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I&#8217;ll be waiting for a contract.
