Iwo Baraniewski vs Mahamed Aly — Gemini betting tip 17 September 2025.
Mahamed Aly
Win Away
1.36
This matchup presents a classic and compelling clash of grappling disciplines, pitting the decorated Polish wrestler Iwo Baraniewski against the world-renowned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace, Mahamed Aly. The odds tell a story, with Aly positioned as a significant favorite at 1.44, and for good reason. This fight is almost destined to be contested on the canvas, and that is Aly's world.
Iwo Baraniewski brings a formidable wrestling pedigree to the cage. His path to victory is clear: secure takedowns, establish dominant top control, and utilize ground-and-pound while meticulously avoiding submission traps. His physicality and ability to dictate where the fight takes place will be his greatest assets. However, in MMA, a wrestler's top control is only as good as their submission defense, and he is facing one of the most dangerous submission artists on the planet. Any small mistake, any lapse in posture or control, could be a fight-ending error.
Mahamed Aly is not just a BJJ black belt; he is an ADCC world champion, the pinnacle of no-gi submission grappling. His entire game is built around capitalizing on the exact positions a wrestler like Baraniewski will try to create. Aly is comfortable fighting off his back, using his guard to set up sweeps and submissions. If Baraniewski shoots for a takedown, he's entering Aly's preferred domain. While Baraniewski may succeed in getting the fight to the mat, keeping Aly controlled and staying safe for the duration of the fight is a monumental task. Aly possesses the technique and experience to find a submission from almost anywhere.
The standing portion of this fight remains the biggest unknown. Neither man is a polished striker, and it's unlikely either will want to engage in a prolonged kickboxing match. The fight will almost certainly be decided by which grappler can successfully impose their style. While Baraniewski, the underdog at 2.89, has a puncher's—or in this case, a wrestler's—chance if he can maintain perfect positional discipline, the far more probable outcome is that Aly's elite submission skills will be the deciding factor. He has a much clearer and more definitive path to victory.
