Uros Medic vs. Daniel Rodriguez serves as our main event today.UFC Belgrade PreviewMedic — from nearby Novi Sad, Serbia — gets his first UFC main event slot here. He’s earned it with blistering finishes over Geoff Neal (see that here), Muslim Salikhov (that one here) and Gilbert Urbina (re-live that here). The combined time of those fights is less than four minutes. Rodriguez, meanwhile, is coming off a grueling win over Kevin Holland; however, he’s been held out for sometime because of legal issues (which saw him stuck in a Mexican jail for eight months).The co-main event is Jan Blachowicz vs. Navajo Stirling. Blachowicz was scheduled to face Bogdan Guskov, before Guskov was needed in Abi Dhabi last weekend. Stirling comes in on short notice, just a month removed from his win over Ion Cutelaba.The rest of the main card is a “Balkans vs. The World” theme with Aleksandar Rakic vs. Marcin Tybura, Dusko Todorovic vs. Robert Valentin, Vlasto Cepo vs. Gilbert Urbina and Milos Janicic vs. Noah Gugnon.The “Prelims” are headlined by Ludovit Klein vs. Tofiq Musayev.
