Summary
30 seconds into UFC Belgrade, Serbia’s first UFC event, Uros Medic stopped Daniel Rodriguez to headline the card’s biggest statement win.
That finish extended Medic’s streak to four straight first-round knockouts, improved his knockout total to 12 in 14 wins and earned him a $100,000 bonus.
In the co-main event, Navajo Stirling knocked out former champion Jan Blachowicz in the first round after stepping in on short notice to replace Bogdan Guskov.
Stirling moved to 6-0 in the UFC with three straight TKO wins and is expected to break into the light heavyweight Top 10 after beating the division’s No. 4 contender.
For Blachowicz, the loss deepened a slide to 0-3-2 in his last five fights, underscoring how sharply the former champion’s standing has fallen since his last win in 2022.
