Nobody hands you anything at light heavyweight. Iwo Baraniewski — "Rudy" to fight fans — has built a 9-0 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Poland's regional scene.
On the feet he's a problem: 15.77 significant strikes a minute at 72% accuracy, and 78% of his wins end in a knockout. The math is bad for anyone standing across from him.
He arrives on a 5-fight win streak — most recently Junior Tafa, KO/TKO (Kick) R1. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
