Overview
- The UFC officially announced on Monday that Uros Medic will face Daniel Rodriguez in the five-round main event at UFC Belgrade on August 1 at Belgrade Arena.
- Medic is a Serbian welterweight coming off a three-fight run of first-round knockouts, has entered the UFC welterweight rankings, and will headline in his home country for the first time.
- Rodriguez is a seasoned 170-pound contender on a three-fight UFC win streak who has not fought since July 2025 after spending roughly eight months detained in Mexico and is billed for a comeback in Belgrade.
- The rest of the fight card remains under construction with multiple high-profile bouts reported but unconfirmed, including rumors of Johnny Walker and Aleksandar Rakić moving up to heavyweight for fights tied to the event.
- The UFC has opened fan registration and is finalizing ticketing and broadcast details as the promotion expands further into mainland Europe, a move that could boost local interest and grow the company’s regional presence.
