Uroš Medić

Overview

Eight UFC wins, and not one of them went to the scorecards.

Uroš Medić, a Welterweight from Novi Sad, Serbia, is 8-3 in the UFC with all eight wins by KO/TKO. Six of those finished in the first round. He carries a four-fight win streak out of his most recent fight, matching the longest streak of his UFC run.

The losses are the other half of the record. Two came by submission, one by KO/TKO. All three ended early: in round 1, round 2 and round 1 again.

UFC Career

Medić's route to the UFC ran through Dana White's Contender Series, where he beat Mikey Gonzalez by KO/TKO at 2:12 of the first round in August 2020. That fight isn't part of his UFC record. He debuted in March 2021 at UFC 259 and stopped Aalon Cruz in 1:40.

Jalin Turner submitted him in the first round at UFC 266, the first loss of his UFC run. He rebounded with a second-round KO/TKO of Omar Morales, then stopped Matthew Semelsberger in the third at UFC 291.

Myktybek Orolbai submitted him in the second round in November 2023, his second loss. He answered with a first-round KO/TKO of Tim Means in April 2024, his fourth straight win. Then came the setback: Punahele Soriano knocked him out in 31 seconds in January 2025.

What followed is the run he carries now. Gilbert Urbina went in 1:03 in August 2025, and Muslim Salikhov in 1:03 as well. Our model rates Salikhov as a strong opponent. So is Geoff Neal, whom Medić stopped in 1:19 in February 2026, and Daniel Rodriguez, who lasted 30 seconds in the main event of UFC Fight Night: Medic vs. Rodriguez.

Three strong opponents, three first-round finishes. None of them reached the two-minute mark.

Fighting Style

Medić is a busy, accurate striker who is hard to hit. He throws a lot, connects at a high clip, and takes less in return than most fighters do. He rarely shoots for takedowns and doesn't hunt for submissions, so his offense comes almost entirely on the feet.

His takedown defense holds up better than most, yet two of his three losses came by submission, one in the first round and one in the second. That is the clearest weak spot in an otherwise strong profile.

He is a southpaw, and the finishing pattern is plain: eight wins, all eight by KO/TKO, with none by submission or decision. Six came in round one, one in round two, and one in round three.
