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.

Merab Dvalishvili calls himself a 'decision machine' before Yan trilogy
Merab
Dvalishvili can joke about his low finishing rate in the

Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Dvalishvili is scheduled to challenge Petr Yan for
the bantamweight title in a trilogy bout at
UFC 333 on Oct. 24 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. When a fan
recently asked him to predict the outcome, the former champion
jokingly suggested another decision victory.

Merab Dvalishvili jokes about his decision-heavy record ahead
of Petr Yan title fight at UFC 333

Dvalishvili is known for his relentless pressure and wrestling,
with 16 of his 21 career victories coming by decision. The Georgian
has recorded two finishes in the UFC: a technical knockout of
Marlon
Moraes in 2021 and a submission of Sean
O’Malley in his second title defense last year.

Asked how he would beat Yan, Dvalishvili described himself as a
“decision machine.â€

“There are three ways to win: knockout, submission, or decision,â€
Dvalishvili said in a brief

10 UFC wins, zero finishes: Movsar Evloev defends his fighting style

10 UFC wins, zero finishes: Movsar Evloev defends his fighting style
Movsar
Evloev rejects the notion that fans only want bloody
fights.

Evloev is scheduled to challenge Alexander
Volkanovski for the
Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight title at
UFC 333 on Oct. 24 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. The Russian
challenger has won all 10 of his UFC bouts by decision but believes
fans appreciate his fighting style.

Movsar Evloev argues wrestling can entertain UFC fans ahead of
Volkanovski title fight

The recent departures of Michael
Page and Farid
Basharat have fueled debate about whether winning is enough to
secure a new UFC contract. Neither fighter was re-signed despite a
winning streak, though a lack of finishes has not been established
as the reason for either departure.

Evloev believes finishes are not the only measure of a fighter's
value. He says fans also appreciate tactics, skill and
wrestling.

“I have zero finishes in UFC, but I'm still in the UFC and I'm
fighting for the title,†Evloev told MMA Fighting. “That means only
finishes are not important. To show a good fight is also important.
If you have no finish, you can still show a good fight, an exciting
fight; you can show the beauty of wrestling. There are not just
fans of MMA who just wait for blood. There are so many good fans
who know MMA, and they understand, and maybe because of them I'm
still in the UFC.â€
