, March 21, 2026) inside O2 Arena on London, England which saw Movsar Evloev defeat Lerone Murphy via unanimous decision ( recap here ). In the co-main event, Luke Riley defeated Michael Aswell Jr. , also by unanimous decision.
Biggest Winner: Iwo Baraniewski Baraniewski improved his record to 8-0 after destroying Austen Lane in just 28 seconds of the very first round ( see it again here ). With the win, he improves to 3-0 inside the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Octagon. What’s even more impressive is that all of his wins have come via knockout in the very first round, totaling just under 2.
5 minutes of fight time so far in his UFC career. In fact, all of Baraniewski’s pro wins have come in the very first round. But we’ve seen this before in the form of Houston Alexander and Robelis Despaigne , for example.
Both men started off their MMA and UFC careers known as quick finishers, though they didn’t amount to much inside the Octagon. So far, Baraniewski has proven to be the real deal and a few more wins like this could earn him a Top 15 ranking soon, rather than later. Runner Up: Movsar Evloev I get it, people are upset at the questionable scorecards , but we would likely be having this same conversation had the decision gone the other way.
