This light heavyweight matchup features undefeated Iwo Baraniewski (5-0) facing the also undefeated Mahamed Aly (4-0). Both fighters show strong potential but come from different backgrounds — Baraniewski with a judo base and high finish rate, Aly with elite Brazilian jiu-jitsu and versatility in striking and grappling. Aly is a slight favorite on the moneyline given his more diverse skillset and slight physical advantages.

No significant injury reports have been disclosed for either fighter heading into this fight, indicating both should be at full strength.
The fight takes place in a high-pressure Dana White's Contender Series environment, where a UFC contract is often on the line, likely increasing motivation for both fighters to perform decisively.
