Dusko Todorovic

Overview

Dusko Todorovic has four UFC wins, and every one of them ended inside the distance. He has no UFC decision wins at all. The same is true in reverse: five of his seven UFC losses came by KO/TKO or submission.

The Montenegrin "Thunder" fights at middleweight and stands 6'1" with a 74" reach. His UFC record is 4-7. His professional record across all promotions is 13-7-0, which includes fights outside the UFC.

The short version: he finishes, and he gets finished.

UFC Career

His path to the UFC ran through Dana White's Contender Series, where he beat Teddy Ash by unanimous decision in August 2019. That fight sits outside his UFC record.

The UFC run opened well. Todorovic stopped Dequan Townsend in round 2 (3:15) in October 2020, then dropped his next two: a round 1 KO/TKO loss to Punahele Soriano at 4:48, and a unanimous decision loss to Gregory Rodrigues. He answered with a round 1 stoppage of Maki Pitolo at 4:34 in December 2021.

Chidi Njokuani stopped him in round 1 (4:48) in May 2022. In October he bounced back with a round 2 KO/TKO of Jordan Wright at 3:12. That is his best stretch in the UFC, and it still only adds up to a win streak of one. His longest UFC win streak is exactly that: one fight.

Then came a bad run. Christian Leroy Duncan finished him in 1:52 of round 1 at UFC 286, and Mansur Abdul-Malik did the same in 2:44 in November 2024. Zachary Reese took a unanimous decision in May 2025, one of only two UFC fights that went the distance for him.

In September 2025 he submitted Jose Daniel Medina in round 1 at 4:21, his only submission win. It was a short reprieve. Robert Valentin submitted him in round 1 at 4:14 in his most recent fight, so he carries a one-fight losing streak into his next outing.

Eleven UFC fights, and only two reached the final bell.

Fighting Style

Dusko Todorovic is a striker who lands often and accurately but is easier to hit than most. He is a busy, precise striker, and he takes about as much as a typical UFC fighter does, but his defense is a weak spot.

The grappling profile is the bigger concern. He shoots for takedowns more than most, yet he gets taken down more than most, and he rarely goes looking for submissions. His one submission win is the exception to that profile.

He is not purely a knockout artist. Three of his four UFC wins came by KO/TKO and one by submission, with two finishes in round 1 and two in round 2.

His four KO/TKO losses show what the defensive gaps cost him.

One note on the current draft: its claim that three of those four losses ended in round 1 isn't supported by the facts provided, so it has been removed.
