Uros Medic lays waste to Daniel Rodriguez in just 30 seconds, calls out Leon Edwards after UFC Belgrade main event

Uros Medic delivered a career-defining moment at UFC Belgrade, knocking out Daniel Rodriguez in just 30 seconds before an emotionally charged home crowd and issuing a direct callout to former champion Leon Edwards.

Medic caught Rodriguez with a rapid one-two combination—a left hand followed by a devastating right—that sent the American to the canvas. The Serbian welterweight then unleashed a volley of follow-up strikes until referee Jason Herzog stopped the fight at the 30-second mark. Now on a five-fight winning streak with all five victories coming via first-round knockout, Medic has officially announced himself as a legitimate contender in an increasingly crowded division.

Emotionally overwhelmed after the victory, Medic addressed the crowd: "It's been a really rough couple of weeks since I arrived. I couldn't feel like home even though I was on home soil. Now we got the job done and I just want to cry. I missed home so much. I'm going to cook the rest of this division. With you guys by my side, we are going to bring the belt to Serbia!"

Medic displayed surgical precision entering the fight, setting up his strike combinations with calm poise before unleashing the finishing sequence. He then pivoted to callouts of higher-ranked opposition, naming Carlos Prates as a dream matchup before directly challenging Edwards: "I asked for Leon Edwards, I think he's still in hiding. If he decides to come out of the hole he shoved himself into, I'll gladly be next to knock him out." The passionate striker has made clear that if his finishing streak continues, a title shot is inevitable.
