- Uros Medic headlines UFC's debut in Serbia, returning to his home country to face Daniel Rodriguez as a nearly 4-1 betting favorite at Belgrade Arena on August 1.
- Daniel Rodriguez returns after an eight-month prison stint in Mexico for marijuana possession, facing an opponent who hasn't seen a second round in his last five UFC appearances.
- Aleksandar Rakic makes his heavyweight debut against Marcin Tybura in the co-main, attempting a career reset after four consecutive losses derailed his prior title-shot trajectory.
- Marcin Tybura risks the first three-fight losing streak of his career if he falls to Rakic, a once-perennial contender now on a downturn.
- Medic framed his finishing pace as calculated rather than reckless, telling CBS Sports: 'We don't get paid by the hour... it's just a way I put the pace on.'
- UFC Fight Night streams on Paramount+ starting at 1 p.m. ET (main card) and 10 a.m. ET (prelims), part of the promotion's exclusive seven-year Paramount+ deal running through 2033.
Why it matters: UFC's first event in Serbia gives hometown fighters Medic and Rakic chances to reset their careers on home soil — Rakic chasing a heavyweight reinvention after four straight losses, Medic hunting another early finish against a comeback opponent. Both bouts air exclusively on Paramount+, which holds all 13 numbered events and 30 Fight Nights annually through 2033.
