UFC is heading to Serbia. The promotion makes its debut in the country on Saturday night with a local product in the main event. Uros Medic looks to continue his incredible run when he takes on veteran Daniel Rodriguez in Belgrade.
Medic has ripped off three straight wins by knockout, including a destructive finish of Geoff Neal in February. In 16 pro fights, Medic has never reached the judges scorecards, meaning action is always guaranteed when he steps in for a fight.
Rodriguez, meanwhile, is set for his first fight since July 2025 and enters on a three-fight win streak. Rodriguez is back after spending eight months in prison in Mexico for possession of marijuana.
Then, one of the promotion's top stars returns, concluding a ridiculous stretch from UFC Freedom 250 to UFC 330. Islam Makhachev , prized pupil of Khabib Nurmagomedov , defends the welterweight title against Ian Machado Garry on Aug. 15. The promotion's return to Philadelphia features a second title fight, women's strawweight champion Mackenzie Dern vs. Gillian Robertson .
