The UFC heads to Serbia for the first time ever this weekend as UFC Fight Night: Medić vs. Rodriguez takes over Belgrade Arena on Saturday, August 1. The action is set to begin at 1:00 p.m. local time in Belgrade for the prelims, while fans in the United States can tune in beginning at 7:00 a.m. ET before the main card gets underway at 10:00 a.m. ET on Paramount+.
The historic event is headlined by a pivotal welterweight matchup between No. 13-ranked Daniel Rodriguez and No. 14-ranked Uroš Medić, with both fighters riding three-fight winning streaks while looking to strengthen their position in the division rankings. Medić will have the backing of a rabid home crowd as he headlines the UFC’s inaugural event in his native country, while Rodriguez looks to spoil the celebration and continue his own recent surge.
The co-main event features former UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Błachowicz taking on unbeaten rising contender Navajo Stirling, while Serbian standout Aleksandar Rakić makes his heavyweight debut against veteran Marcin Tybura. The rest of the card also includes a middleweight matchup between Duško Todorović and Robert Valentin, along with several other Serbian fighters as the promotion makes its long-awaited debut in Belgrade.
