Iwo Baraniewski Scores 20-Second KO of Mahamed Aly on DWCS 82

The 26-year-old judo stylist executed a boxing-first plan that positions him for a UFC contract decision.

Overview

  • Baraniewski ended the fight with a perfectly timed overhand right at 0:20 after brief follow-up shots at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
  • The finish is listed as the fifth-fastest in Dana White’s Contender Series history, boosting the unbeaten Polish light heavyweight to 6-0.
  • He entered as the event’s biggest betting underdog and handed Aly his first professional loss, dropping him to 4-1.
  • The UFC posted the knockout replay on X, amplifying attention as Baraniewski awaits word on a contract.
  • Despite his judo pedigree, he said the plan was to keep it standing and box, and he plans a short California break before returning to train for a potential debut.
