DraftKings Offers $150 Bonus Bets for UFC Fight Night in Belgrade

Q: Can hometown hero Uroš Medić's knockout streak survive the gritty return of veteran Daniel Rodriguez at UFC's historic Serbian debut?

Yes—Medić has a strong chance to keep the streak alive, but Rodriguez is the kind of veteran who makes that far from certain. The Serbian headliner enters UFC’s first event in Serbia on a three-fight run, with all three wins coming by first-round knockout. At 13-3, Medić has built his rise on fast, accurate, high-volume striking and a perfect finishing record in victory. He also carries the emotional lift of fighting at home in Belgrade, where the crowd will be firmly behind him. That said, Rodriguez is a dangerous test because he is far more seasoned in long, messy stand-up fights. The 39-year-old southpaw is 20-5, owns wins over names such as Kevin Holland, Santiago Ponzinibbio and Alex Morono, and has shown he can win by knockout, submission or decision. His 74-inch reach and durable boxing style could help him survive the early storm and drag Medić into deeper waters in a five-round main event. The key question is whether Rodriguez’s layoff of more than a year dulls his timing, especially against a fighter who starts so aggressively. Medić has looked explosive recently, but his own vulnerability is that all three of his losses came inside the distance, and his defensive wrestling has been a concern at times. So the evidence points slightly toward Medić, particularly early. If he lands clean in the opening round, the streak can continue. If Rodriguez absorbs that pressure and extends the fight, the upset becomes very real.
