PUBLICITY:

Iwo Baraniewski had already shone in his UFC debut in December, and now he impressed again in the octagon. At UFC London , an event held this Saturday (21), the promising Pole ignored the size disadvantage and showed no mercy to Austen Lane . 'Rudy' needed only 28 seconds to brutally knock out the former American football player.

Aggressive, explosive, and powerful, 27-year-old Baraniewski is rising in the world's largest MMA organization and gaining fans thanks to his style. Undefeated in MMA, the Pole now has eight wins, all by stoppage (six by knockout and two by submission), and may soon be vying for a spot in the top 15 of the light heavyweight division (up to 93 kg).

It started and it ended.

Georgiano starts well, but loses steam at the end against Christian Leroy Duncan.

In a fast-paced fight, Roman Dolidze and Christian Leroy Duncan spared no energy at UFC London . Featuring impressive striking exchanges, takedowns, kicks, and elbows, the pair gave their all and then some.

Dolidze landed some good elbows, but also struggled with Leroy Duncan's intensity, suffering visible injuries, such as to his left eye. In the final round, more tired, Dolidze focused on long-range strikes, while Leroy Duncan pressured him whenever possible. At 2:40, the Georgian secured a takedown and clung to the Englishman's back. Dolidze attempted a rear-naked choke, but without success. In the final minute, Dolidze, still clinging to Leroy Duncan's back, landed punches to the head until the end of the fight.

In the end, Leroy Duncan defeated Dolidze by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). With the victory, the 30-year-old Englishman now has a record of 14 wins and two losses in his professional career.

On the other side, Dolidze updates his professional record to 15 wins and five losses. The 37-year-old Georgian, who was already coming off a defeat, confirms his poor run in the UFC.
