When I think Judo fighters in MMA I think of Pawel Nastula, Yoshida, Karo Parisyan, Ronda Rousey. Nastula got thrown to the wolves somewhat in Pride, didn't deliver on a great career in MMA but held his own. Rousey obviously had great success in the women's divisions. Yoshida is a Japanese MMA legend. Karo Parisyan had mixed results at the top level, but I appreciated what he brought to MMA.

NEW FIGHTER ADDED!
Baraniewski initially competed in judo. He started training at Aligatores Fight Club, which to this day is his gym. He competed in multiple International Judo Federation (IJF) tournaments, but did not place in the top 3.[1]
His first podium place came in 2018 at the World Judo Juniors Championships where he won the bronze medal after defeating Mathias Madsen.[2] His next two medals were in submission wrestling, where he obtained a bronze and gold medal at the ADCC Polish Nationals in 2019 and 2020 respectively.[3][4] Also in 2020, Baraniewski won the gold medal at the Polish Youth Judo Championships in Józefów after beating Eryk Ryciak in the final.[5]
