Uros Medic fought in his native Serbia for the first time ever, but didn’t stick around in the cage longer than he needed to.
In fact, Medic’s UFC Belgrade main event lasted all of 30 seconds as he unleashed a signature knockout barrage to put away Daniel Rodriguez and send the Belgrade Arena crowd into a frenzy. It was the fourth straight first-round finish for Medic, who is emerging as a dark horse contender in the increasingly crowded welterweight division.
Fans and fighters were wowed by Medic’s
performance, with former 170-pound champion Belal Muhammad writing, “Wow, that was freaky fast,” and veteran analyst Alan Jouban adding, “Medic would be a great champion. Passionate about the sport, thoughtful in his approach and an absolute killer inside the octagon.”
Medic not only improved to 14-3 as a pro, he continued his career-long streak of having never had a fight go to the judges.
