Belgrade Arena delivered a night of first-round finishes, a shock over a former champion, and a P4P conversation-starter — here's how every result shook out.
If you built a bracket for UFC Fight Night in Belgrade, this is your reckoning. Uroš Medić walked into a home crowd at Belgrade Arena and needed exactly 30 seconds to end Daniel Rodriguez in round one. That’s the headline of the night: a welterweight main event that was over almost before it began. Rodriguez came in with a heavy 20-5 record, but none of it mattered once the opening bell rang. For everyone who picked Medić to win at home, this was the cleanest possible payoff. For anyone who leaned on Rodriguez’s experience, welcome to combat sports.
The co-main was the one that broke brackets. Navajo Stirling walked in undefeated at 10-0 and left that way, finishing former light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz in round one at 2:56. Beating a name like Blachowicz — a 29-fight veteran and a former titleholder — is the kind of result that instantly changes how the division reads Stirling’s ceiling. If you had the veteran advancing on pedigree alone, this is where your night went sideways. Undefeated prospects don’t stay quiet after nights like this.
Amid a card full of quick finishes, the heavyweight bout was the lone survivor of the clock. Aleksandar Rakic outlasted Marcin Tybura across the full three rounds, taking the decision at the 5:00 mark of round three. In a night defined by early stoppages, going the distance almost felt like an upset of its own — Rakic simply did the work and banked the result. If you predicted a finish here, the scorecards had other plans.
The rest of the bracket rewarded anyone who leaned into aggression:
Two undefeated men made the loudest noise. Stirling’s finish of a former champion is the result the light heavyweight division will be chewing on, and Oliveira’s 9-0 stayed spotless in emphatic fashion. Medić’s 30-second home finish is the kind of moment that builds a headliner. And the night’s lesson for bracket-builders was brutal and simple: experience got finished again and again, with young and undefeated fighters — Stirling, Gugnon, Oliveira — repeatedly beating the more decorated name across the table.
Six of the eight bouts ended in round one. If your picks survived that, you were reading the room better than most.
That’s Belgrade in the books. Now the fun part — the next card is already loading, and the upsets you just watched are exactly why guessing the winners is worth the argument. Build your bracket, call your finishes, and see if you can read the next night better than this one. Lock in your picks and settle who actually knows the fights.
