The surging Serbian had gone 4-1 over his past five Octagon appearances prior to today\u2019s affair.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Daniel Rodriguez (20-6 MMA) had also enter today\u2019s headliner on a 3-fight winning streak. \u2018D-Rod\u2019 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.<\/p>\n<p>This afternoon\u2019s 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, \u2018The Doctor\u2019 proceeded to land another kick to the body of \u2018D-Rod\u2019, this before ultimately finishing the contest with ground and pound. The fight itself lasted just 30-seconds, and marked Uros\u2019 fourth straight first-round stoppage victory.<\/p>\n<p>Official UFC Belgrade Results: Uros Medic def.
