Ibo Aslan - News & Rumors - UFC | FOX Sports

Losing streak hits three Aslan lost to Iwo Baraniewski via KO (punches) at 1:29 of Round 1 at UFC 323 on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Impact This was perhaps the least technical and most entertaining fight you will ever see. Aslan came up short, and largely has no one to blame but himself. It was a car crash from the very start, with both men swinging for the bleachers with every shot. Ibo knocked Baraniewski down and seemed to be in position to earn the finish, but he continued to fight recklessly and eventually was put away with a wild right hook. Aslan won each of his first two UFC fights via knockout, but he's lost three straight dating back to this past February and would most definitely appear to be on the chopping block moving forward.

No-shows Abu Dhabi defeat Aslan lost to Billy Elekana via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.

Impact Perhaps we'll find out post-fight that Aslan was dealing with some sort of injury or illness. If not, there's no way to defend this performance. Entering as a -275 favorite, Ibo stood around for 15 minutes and did nothing. He landed just 28 significant strikes in what was a 15-minute kickboxing match. That's not to say Elekana and his 28 significant strikes landed was much better, but Billy at least tried to make things happen. Aslan did not. Ibo has lost back-to-back fights in a span of five months, negating all the good will he built up with a pair of knockout wins to begin his UFC run.
