Baraniewski with another instant win! Tafa fell after less than 90 seconds [VIDEO].

The opening of the main card of the UFC Vegas 118 gala is behind us, namely the fight of Iwa Baraniewski. The Pole faced Junior Tafa.

Iwo Baraniewski has taken the UFC by storm. The popular “Rudy” entered the Octagon twice before today’s bout and collectively did not spend even five minutes in it. Knockouts on Aslan and Lana – especially the former! – made all eyes turn to him.

Today Baraniewski was supposed to face Billy Elekana, who, however, suffered an injury. His place was taken by Junior Tafa, who on paper was a less challenging opponent.

UFC: Baraniewski vs Tafa – who won?

Baraniewski tried to take the initiative from the start. Iwo brought out the first low kicks in his UFC career, after which he went into the clinch and looked for a knockdown – unsuccessfully. A blow from the opponent, but unclean. A succession of low kicks from Iwa Baraniewski, which began to put off. After another low kick Junior Tafa settled to the ground, where “Rudy” recorded a win after the punches.

Result: Iwo Baraniewski won by TKO in the 1st round.
