Today’s UFC Belgrade event was headlined by a welterweight bout featuring Uros Medic taking on Daniel Rodriguez.
Medic (14-3 MMA) had entered today’s main event on a three-fight winning streak, this after scoring first-round finishes over Gilbert Urbina, Muslim Salikhov and Geoff Neal in his most recent efforts. The surging Serbian had gone 4-1 over his past five Octagon appearances prior to today’s affair.
Meanwhile, Daniel Rodriguez (20-6 MMA) had also enter today’s headliner on a 3-fight winning streak. ‘D-Rod’ had most previously competed inside of the cage last July at UFC 318, where he scored a unanimous decision victory over Kevin Holland. That triumph was preceded by a TKO win over Santiago Ponzinibbio in May of 2025.
This afternoon’s UFC Belgrade headliner proved to be a short-lived affair. Uros Medic was able to rock Daniel Rodriguez in the early seconds with a 3-punch combination and then sent him crashing to the canvas with a body kick. From there, ‘The Doctor’ proceeded to land another kick to the body of ‘D-Rod’, this before ultimately finishing the contest with ground and pound. The fight itself lasted just 30-seconds, and marked Uros’ fourth straight first-round stoppage victory.

I’m cool with Uros Medic headlining any card, but this has to be nerve-wracking for the hometown crowd. Dude embodies kill or be killed.

Medić would be a great champion. Passionate about the sport, thoughtful in his approach and an absolute killer inside the octagon. #UFC
