UFC Belgrade: 'Medić vs. Rodriguez' Live Results and Highlights

The Octagon is in Serbia for today's UFC Belgrade event, a 14-bout fight card headlined by Uros Medic vs. Daniel Rodriguez.

Medic (13-3 MMA) will enter today's main event on a three-fight winning streak, this after scoring first-round finishes over Gilbert Urbina, Muslim Salikhov and Geoff Neal in his most recent efforts. The surging Serbian has gone 4-1 over his past five Octagon appearances overall.

Meanwhile, Daniel Rodriguez (20-5 MMA) will also enter today's headliner on a 3-fight winning streak. ‘D-Rod' 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.

UFC Belgrade is co-headlined by a key light heavyweight bout featuring former division champion Jan Blachowicz taking on Navajo Stirling.

Jan Blachowicz

Blachowicz (29-11-2 MMA) will be returning to the Octagon for the first time since his majority draw with Bogdan Guskov at UFC 323 this past December. The former title holder has gone 0-2-2 over his past four fights, suffering losses to Carlos Ulberg and Alex Pereira during that stretch.

Meanwhile, Navajo Stirling (10-0 MMA) will be looking to keep his perfect record intact this afternoon in Serbia. The 28-year-old was most previously seen in action 6 weeks ago, where he scored a second-round TKO victory over Ion Cutelaba (see that here). Prior to that triumph, Stirling was coming off a TKO win against Bruno Lopes this past March.

Also featured on tonight's UFC Belgrade main card lineup is a heavyweight bout between Aleksandar Rakic and Marcin Tybura.

Rakic (14-6 MMA) will be looking to snap a four-fight losing streak when he makes his heavyweight debut this evening in Serbia. ‘Rocket' has dropped TKO losses to Azamat Murzakanov, Jiri Prochazka and Jan Blachowicz during that rough stretch.

Meanwhile, Marcin Tybura (27-11 MMA) will also be looking to get back in the win column when he takes to the Octagon this afternoon. ‘Tybur' has suffered losses to Ante Delija and Tyrell Fortune in his most recent UFC appearances. Prior to those setbacks, the Polish veteran was coming off back-to-back wins over Mick Parkin and Jhonata Diniz respectively.

If that wasn't enough to get you interested, the UFC Belgrade featured prelim is a highly anticipated lightweight bout between Ľudovít Klein and Tofiq Musayev.

Klein (24-5-1 MMA) will be returning to the Octagon for the first time since earning a majority decision win over Mateusz Rebecki at UFC 321 in October of last year. ‘Mr. Highlight' has gone 7-1-1 over his past nine fights, which includes victories over Roosevelt Roberts and Thiago Moises.

Meanwhile, Tofiq Musayev (23-6 MMA) was most previously seen in action this past March at UFC Seattle, where he scored a unanimous decision victory over Ignacio Bahamondes. The 36-year-old has gone 3-1 over his past four fights overall.

Zabit Magomedsharipov’s undefeated brother gets biggest test yet at PFL Dubai
The
Professional Fighters League's next Dubai card is taking
shape.

The event, scheduled for Nov. 14 at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, will
be headlined by a heavyweight title clash between Vadim
Nemkov and Sergey
Bilostenniy. Two more bouts have now been added to the card,
featuring a former Bellator
MMA champ and the brother of a former
Ultimate Fighting Championship star.

Khasan Magomedsharipov faces Adam Borics on Nov. 14 PFL Dubai
card

Sergio
Pettis (25-8) is set to take on Joji Goto
(20-9) in a bantamweight tilt at
PFL Dubai. Pettis is coming off a decision loss to Mitchell
McKee this past April, which snapped a two-fight winning
streak. Meanwhile, Goto, who makes his PFL debut, is coming off a
first-round submission win over Azizbek
Temirov.

Khasan
Magomedsharipov (11-0) will look to maintain his perfect record
when he takes on Adam Borics
(20-4) in a featherweight matchup at PFL Dubai. Khasan is the
brother of former UFC standout Zabit
Magomedsharipov and often displays a similarly well-rounded
skill set.

A flyweight

Khasan has finished eight of his 11 career wins so far and is
coming off a first-round submission win over Joshua
Weems. Meanwhile, Borics has dropped two of his last three and
comes off a decision loss against A.J. McKee.
The Hungarian is a wily veteran with a ton of experience and likely
to be Magomedsharipov's toughest test so far.

Justin Gaethje surprisingly supports Arman Tsarukyan's long wait for UFC title shot

Justin Gaethje surprisingly supports Arman Tsarukyan's long wait for UFC title shot

UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje believes Arman Tsarukyan deserves a title shot on merit, but agrees with the UFC's hesitancy.

Justin Gaethje pulled off one of the biggest upsets in UFC history when he finished Ilia Topuria by TKO earlier this year at UFC Freedom 250. After a long road back to an undisputed title fight, Gaethje handed Topuria his first loss and left the defending champion physically unrecognizable.

Next, Gaethje will decide whether or not he'll hang up his gloves or return to the Octagon to defend the UFC lightweight title. If he opts to return to the cage, Gaethje will likely fight the Arman Tsarukyan vs. Mauricio Ruffy winner, although a rematch with Topuria is also possible.

Tsarukyan has fought just once since his short-notice withdrawal from his fight against Islam Makhachev at UFC 311. After withdrawing due to injury just hours before UFC 311, Tsarukyan returned to the win column by submitting Dan Hooker at UFC Qatar last year.

Many fans and pundits continue to question why the UFC is hesitant to commit to Tsarukyan earning the next lightweight title shot, but Gaethje understands the apprehension.

Justin Gaethje: Arman Tsarukyan ‘made his bed' in last-minute UFC 311 withdrawal

In a recent appearance on the MightyCast podcast, Gaethje was asked about Tsarukyan's long wait for another title shot and whether or not the UFC is justified in postponing it.

“He's also been doing so much to not fight for the title,†Gaethje said of Tsarukyan's title pursuit.

“Come on, we all make our own bed. He was going to fight Islam Makhachev for the belt, and he dropped out the night before.†(h/t MMA Junkie)

Tsarukyan and Ruffy will square off in a potential No. 1 contender fight later this month at UFC 331. If Tsarukyan is victorious, his long wait for Gaethje and the lightweight title could continue.

Jake Paul, Logan Paul set to lead new fight competition reality show on Hulu, ESPN

Jake Paul, Logan Paul set to lead new fight competition reality show on Hulu, ESPN

Jake Paul and Logan Paul are set to lead a new fight competition series for Hulu and ESPN with production expected to start sometime in 2027.

Here's the official synopsis for the series:

“From the hearts and minds of Jake and Logan Paul, this series is a ruthless competition where eliminations are not settled by a vote; they are settled by a fight. Split into rival teams, coached by two rival brothers, the fighters live and train together in the wild.

“But the battle really begins before the fight, because fighters choose the matchups, turning every alliance, every rivalry into a strategic weapon. Jake and Logan will send the losers of each fight home until just one man and one woman are left standing to claim victory.â€

As of now the series does not have an official title.

The fight competition series has actually been in the works for quite some time but now the Paul brothers bring that vision to life with a series that is set to air on both Hulu and ESPN.

As far as the fights go, athletes from MMA, boxing and even traditional martial arts are expected to participate and battle their way to victory on the show.

“This series takes everything we love about competitive combat and turns it into a high-stakes survival spectacle for today's audiences,†the Paul brothers said in a press release. “You choose your opponent, fight to stay, and have nowhere to hide.

“The fighter-first mentality is changing the industry; we can't wait to see who has what it takes.â€
