Picks up first UFC victory
Bryczek defeated Brad Tavares via TKO (punches) at 1:43 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
Fighting for the first time since February 2024 and for just the second time with the UFC, Bryczek put forth a strong performance few could have seen coming. He dominated Tavares on the feet the entire fight. Bryczek was so effective in Round 1 that he earned a 10-8 score from two of the three judges. Tavares worked his way back into the fight in Round 2 before Bryczek again picked up the pace and closed the show early in Round 3. There's an overwhelming likelihood this will go down as the UFC high point for the 35-year-old Poland native.

Second UFC fight booked in July
Bryczek will face Christian Leroy Duncan in a middleweight matchup at UFC 304 on July 27, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Bryczek took a loss in his February UFC debut, getting throughly handled in a decision defeat to a fringe-roster fighter in Ihor Potieria. Now, he draws Duncan, who is 3-1 under the UFC banner. Bryczek had been on a streak of five consecutive first-round stoppages on the regional circuit prior to entering the UFC, so there's finishing power here, even if he hasn't had a chance to show it at the highest level yet.

Drops decision in UFC debut
Bryczek lost to Ihor Potieria via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The only positive for Bryczek in his UFC debut is that he will walk away with 20 percent of Potieria's purse after the latter missed weight Friday morning. Inside the Octagon, the newcomer looked fine for about a round before struggling the rest of the way. Bryczek is a very muscular guy, and it's not surprising he showed some cardio issues. The 33-year-old was up and down on the European regional scene and was facing an opponent here in Potieria that had lost three of his first four UFC bouts, so the odds are against Bryczek going on any sort of run with the company.

Fighting heavy opponent
Bryczek will face off against a heavy Ihor Potieria at UFC Vegas 86 on Feb. 10, MMAJunkie.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bryczek who is fighting Ihor Potieria following a late withdrawal from Albert Duraev, will likely take a share of Potieria's fight purse if the bout continues as scheduled. The 33-year-old Polish fighter will look to make a splash in his UFC debut if Potieria is able to make weight in the next hour.
