UFC Fight Night Belgrade Serbia Medici
versus Rodriguez just took place and I'm
going to go through the entire card
starting with the early prelims ending
with the main event giving my reaction
and breakdown to every single fight on
the card and this was even though the
card wasn't too stacked nonstop finishes
start to finish pretty much.
Um, I don't remember a decision on the
card and I think there was maybe one
decision and it was still technically a
finish anyway. Oh no wait, Alexander
Rakic of course was boring beyond
belief. I forgot about that one but
there were a bunch of fun finishes on
the card. We're going to start straight
away with Marina Spasic versus Stephanie
Luciano.
Um, I went with Stephanie Luciano by
submission.
And after some striking back and forth
between the two of them, Stephanie
Luciano found the takedown and got the
rear naked choke on Marina Spasic.
Luciano's got a really good submission
game. I mentioned that in the build up.
Um, I said I had her winning this one by
submission anyway.
Um, and and it's just another aspect of
her game. She did she's decent on the
feet. Marina Spasic is a bit more of a
striker.
Um, but there's a level to Luciano's
game, you know, where she can take
things to the ground and get finishes
there by rear naked choke. So great win
by Stephanie Luciano to kick off the
card and uh we move on to Jovan Lekic
versus Aleksandar Popovic. I've never
seen
two men of similar height
look completely different sizes before.
Never seen it before. Now, I've stood
next to people that are my height that
look way smaller than me. And you're
going to say of course you're fat but
just in terms of frame
this isn't like really a fat guy.
But Popovic was like maybe an inch
shorter than him,
but just looked so tiny in comparison.
You'd never think they were only an inch
away in height or a a couple of inches
away in height. It looked like Popek was
out there as like a lightweight or a
welterweight taking on a heavyweight in
Jo van Lekker. He looked massive
compared to him. Both guys went for a
couple of strikes a piece, and then Jo
van Lekker cracked Alexander Popek with
a nasty body kick and folded him badly
with it. Really nasty body kick from Jo
van Lekker, followed up with some ground
and pound afterwards, and got himself a
first round TKO win. I thought this
could have ended up being a blob fest,
but um
you know what?
He's improved since his first Contender
Series win, and he made a statement in
his UFC debut. I would like to see him
take on someone who's an actual
heavyweight next because
I mean, that was so weird to see. Even
though Alexander Popek, I said it going
in, this guy's a light heavyweight. He's
going to be way too small.
The guy looked like a welterweight out
there, like a middleweight. I feel like
Carlos Prates
would have looked bigger next to next to
to Jo van Lekker than Alexander Popek
did. It was like a weird, almost felt
like I was watching an optical illusion.
Um but Lekker's just so much bigger than
him, so much more powerful. Hurt him
with that body kick, folded him, and
finished him. Really nasty win from Jo
van Lekker. We move on.
Nina Milosevic versus Hayley Cohen. I
went with Nina Milosevic. I thought she
is the way better fighter.
Um and this was another body shot
sequence finish, dude. I missed a few
body shot finishes on this card.
Um but this was a really nasty finish by
body shots by Nina Milosevic. Hurt
Hayley Cohen to the body, I believe,
with a knee or a kick, and then followed
up with a punch to the body, as well.
Folded Hayley Cohen the first time that
she landed it, and then Cohen kind of
gritted her way back into the fight, and
the ref let it continue. And then Nina
Milosevic folded her yet again with
another body shot, and Hailey Cowan was
done. Hunched over, done a little back
roll on the ground as well. That's how
hunched over she was.
And it was a really nasty TKO win from
Nina Milosevic, so
great win, great performance, great
debut for a great talent in women's
bantamweight, you know. Women's MMA is
coming along.
And I think by them putting it on the
back burner for a bit, it's got a chance
to like marinate, if you know what I'm
saying.
I feel like with women's MMA, I said
this earlier on the stream,
I feel like we haven't really had a
women's MMA fight yet this year.
Until Dern versus Robertson for a title
fight.
Name like a high-profile women's MMA
fight that's happened.
I'm I mean, Kong Wang's been on a card,
but
I just can't think of like a top-level
match-up that's gone down.
And by doing that,
the divisions are kind of marinating,
they're building, you know. We don't
need to rush things. Um but Nina
Milosevic was a great signing by the
UFC.
Um not just because she was a Serbian. I
would have signed her to the UFC anyway,
or at least brought her on to this
season of the Contender Series, but uh
really great impressive debut victory.
Um she's got a bright future.
Let's not rush. Let's take our time,
and let her develop at her own rate.
Nina Milosevic gets it done, first round
TKO.
Mateusz Rebecki versus Kyle Prepolec,
just a one-sided beatdown from Mateusz
Rebecki. Actually very impressive to me,
because Prepolec's been in there with
Benoit Saint Denis, Drew Dober, and
pretty decent lightweights. I mean,
Benoit Saint Denis before he lost to
Paddy Pimblett, people were calling him
the boogeyman of the division, and he's
back on a win streak, and look out for
Look what he did to Hafia.
Um
And Drew Dober is always dangerous, you
know, even though he's not really too
motivated to beat a guy like Prepolec,
he's always dangerous and always a good
unranked lightweight.
So, for Rebequi to easily dismantle
Prepolec, take him down, and beat the
[ __ ] out of him start to finish in round
one,
very impressive to me, dude. The amount
of volume that he put on Prepolec. I
mean, the numbers, you can see it here
yourself.
132
total strikes to 11 in favor of Rebequi.
This is within 4 minutes and 40 seconds.
Not even a full round.
Round one, 75 to two
insignificant strikes. That's like
Khamzat Chimaev in five overall fights.
That's his total significant strike
count. And Rebequi got it all within 4
minutes and 40 seconds, taking down
Prepolec, beating the [ __ ] out of him,
far side wrist control, loads of ground
and pound. And Rebequi just eventually
couldn't take any more, and the referee
was like, "You're not improving your
position. You're receiving a one-sided
ass whooping. We're going to have to
call it off." Great win by Mateusz
Rebequi getting it done on the prelims.
Another finish. We move on.
Was it a finish? Is the question. Uh
Bogdan Grad versus Denis Buzukja.
Um I think it was a finish, to be honest
with you. Uh but round one, Bogdan Grad
was having a decent round, and he was
getting his takedowns off on Denis
Buzukja in the first round. Bogdan Grad
often has good first rounds in fights.
He's very explosive. Um the chances to
beat him usually come later on as the
fight goes on. Very strong, very
physical early.
Um and he did more of the busy work in
round one, landed some really good
shots.
Um and got his takedowns and submission
attempts in the first. Round two,
Denis Buzukja starts doing pretty good,
to be fair.
Denis Buzukja starts doing pretty good,
landing some good shots on Bogdan Grad,
kind of wobbling him a couple of times
on the feet as well I noticed. He didn't
look like he really went for a finish
that many times, but he definitely stung
Grad with some shots that were like, "Oh
[ __ ] Grad is now desperately shooting
for these takedowns on Dennis Buzukja."
And he's not getting too many of them.
He eventually does get a takedown in
round two.
And he gets to the arm triangle position
and Dennis Buzukja is grimacing on his
face.
Like that. And by the way, in the in the
backstage thing that he said, he said,
"I wasn't even in a submission
position." Then why was your face
looking like that, dude?
The guy was like this in the arm
triangle.
Like that.
And he was like, "The submission wasn't
even in."
Interesting. But then, the question is
whether or not he tapped.
He didn't tap.
But if a referee sees you in a
submission position, which it was, it
was an arm triangle. It wasn't the
perfect arm triangle, but you never know
how much of a squeeze someone's got. And
an athlete like Bogdan Grad is going to
have a hell of a squeeze.
And Dennis Buzukja did a motion with his
hand that really did closely resemble a
little light tap on the leg of Bogdan
Grad. It's just not something that you
do
to convince a referee you're still in
there
and you're not tapping. He kind of like
gently double taps Bogdan Grad's thigh.
Um and it was just a weird movement from
him. So, it just kind of looked like a
tap. It looked like a sort of half-assed
I don't really want to tap, but I did
kind of tap.
Um and Bogdan Grad got the submission
victory over Dennis Buzukja. Really good
win. I picked him to win.
Um
Would he have won the overall fight?
Probably.
I mean, if he got that second round, but
you can't say. Maybe Buzukja would have
came back in the third, or maybe he
would have escaped that and had a good
end to the second round. He had a great
start to it, but with that submission
position taken into consideration,
um I still would have given the round to
Bazooka, to be honest with you. So,
there's an argument, but he kind of
[ __ ] tapped, dude. Don't do something
that looks very much like a tap.
You know? That's just the one thing you
don't do. So far I'm acing the
predictions. That's going to go downhill
real soon, but not yet.
Not yet.
Borislav Nikolic versus Mark Vlogdin.
Vlogdin, time for flyweight or we're
going to the PFL.
Um he nearly took out Borislav Nikolic.
Nikolic was one of the fighters that I
was most looking forward to fighting
on this card,
um because I thought he was one of the
better prospects out of Serbia. And to
be fair, he was, because a lot of them
lost on this [ __ ]
um moving forward.
But Borislav Nikolic,
he's a very goofy, like weird, but very
powerful striker.
I was expecting him to get a finish over
Mark Vlogdin. Maybe a lesser fighter
would have been finished. Mark Vlogdin's
got a very tough chin.
Um but round one, he nearly finished
Borislav Nikolic. He put him on the on
his ass immediately in round one with a
big hook as Borislav came in and started
going for like a front choke, maybe a
guillotine or something like that. And
Borislav was trying to fight hands and
Vlogdin was kneeing him in the face over
and over again. So, uh Vlogdin actually
ended up having a decent first round. Um
even though not much happened, he
definitely won the first and they ended
up kind of pinned in a north-south
position for the first round. Um with
both guys getting some takedowns and
Nikolic not really being able to get
going.
Um the corner calms him down. Round two.
Um very close round to be fair, but
Borislav was landing the better shots
throughout the round and he uh he got
taken down by Volodyn and nearly had his
rear naked choke sunken.
But he immediately reversed it and ended
up on top
>> [gasps]
>> for quite some time. Volodyn kicks him
off. Borislav's popping him with the jab
throughout the round. I actually feel
like
uh Nikolic got wobbled
towards the end of the second and if he
he would have had a
worse poker face
maybe he would have lost this fight. It
was actually pretty competitive in round
two.
But he ended up landing some pretty good
jabs throughout the second round.
But I swear Volodyn caught him in round
two and it kind of looked like Nikolic
didn't like it at all like he
but he had a good poker face. Very close
round.
It you don't know if he really was badly
hurt or not. He wasn't badly hurt
anyway, but it was just kind of There
was a shot in round two that Volodyn
tagged him with where you were like,
"Ooh."
But before that it was just Nikolic
landing the better shots at range. And
then round three he beat the [ __ ] out of
Volodyn, went for a finish, teeing off
on him against the cage. Very open
defensively though is Nikolic. I don't
know how far he's going to go because
bantamweights are very
very sharp in what they do.
So he could be in for some trouble if he
doesn't clean it up a little bit. Um but
you know, he beat up on Volodyn in the
third round.
Went for some submission attempts with
the guillotine. Volodyn wasn't having
it.
But at the end of the round he did put
Volodyn out. This went to a decision,
unanimous in favor of Borislav Nikolic.
But he did put out Volodyn at the end of
the third round. He had a rear naked
choke locked in. No hooks, so he didn't
really have the leverage for it. But uh
he put Volodyn out at the end of that
round. Volodyn was like face first on
the canvas, not moving.
Maybe you could say, "Oh, he was so
defeated by the feeling of the loss
that he just couldn't get up." But, that
should have been a submission win.
If you are out at the bell, you're out.
That That That should just be how it
works, but either way, um Volkan
survives to a decision, I guess,
and Nikolae advances and wins his UFC
debut. We move on.
>> [laughter]
>> Michael Oliveira is a giant [ __ ]
power punching machine.
Ode Osbourne Elliott was supposed to go
into his deep bag of tricks and survive
the first 3 minutes.
Did my race tier list video of the UFC
not do anything for some of these guys,
dude? Heartbreaking loss for Osbourne
Elliott. We get through the first 2
minutes.
Okay? We chop at the legs, we throw some
kicks at the arms, we move around,
and then we do a smirk or a crafty grin
at 3 minutes in, and it's do or die
time, dude, but no.
Michael Oliveira is a powerful dude.
He's [ __ ] massive for the division as
well. He's cutting a [ __ ] ton of weight.
I saw a bunch of people posting his
weigh-in pictures of just him looking
like an absolute [ __ ] drawn-out
skeleton. But, he's a massive dude for
the division. And uh like he's tall, but
he's not skinny. He's like an other
Morales just going into this weight
division, but uh
um maybe not as tall.
And he put away Osbourne Elliott, dude.
Put him away. Caught him over the top.
Stung him with a jab early, I believe.
Um and Osbourne got back up, tried
shooting a couple of takedowns, couldn't
get him, and Oliveira just stung him
over the top with a right hand. And then
followed up with ground and pound
afterwards, dude. Nasty finish from
Michael Oliveira over on Osbourne
Elliott. I tried to believe.
Maybe if it would have got out the first
round, it would have been a different
story, but uh he's a dangerous puncher,
is Michael Oliveira. Very dangerous
match up for Robin out to take on a
two-fight losing streak. In hindsight, a
[ __ ] move. But I
Some people are here to fight and take
on the dangerous tests. Some people
aren't and sometimes it [ __ ]
backfires big time, dude. Michael
Oliveira gets a nasty debut win over
Robin out. One more chance, Dana,
please. Just one more chance, dude. Can
a brother get a Gilbert Albina match up?
You know what I'm saying?
Come on, man. We move on.
Ludovit Klein versus Tofiq Musayev. Very
impressive from Tofiq Musayev. Uh Tofiq,
age is just a number Musayev, as he
always says.
While looking like that. Um but yeah,
Tofiq Musayev, dirty [ __ ] Hate him
after his debut. Or not debut, but his
fight with Ignacio Bahamondes.
Despicable person. But he fought this
one clean. Very clean fight against
Ludovit Klein. And he outstruck him on
the feet, you know. He didn't really
take grappling into the game here. Like
he didn't score a takedown. He only
attempted one of them. And he just
outpopped Ludovit Klein on the feet.
Round one, he was stinging him with some
inside low kicks.
And uh Ludovit Klein didn't really have
an answer for it. Even though I'm seeing
here that he landed more strikes. That
can't be right.
He landed more strikes in round one than
Musayev did.
I don't think that's right.
>> [snorts]
>> I mean, maybe. But I thought Musayev
>> [sighs]
>> landed the shots that mattered in round
one at least, right? And the inside low
kicks were like That can't be right. I
feel like Musayev landed more than Klein
did in round one, but
maybe I'm off. It was still a
competitive round.
But Musayev was the one pushing forward,
stinging Klein on the chin, making him
stumble backwards after some right
hands, landing that inside low kick.
Klein did have some moments, though. It
was a competitive round, but I thought
Musayev led the dance pretty well. And
in round two, Klein started getting off
with some shots, some good combos, but
Mesayev stayed in there. Stayed in
there. Looked big out there against
Klein as well. You know, we've seen
Klein against Rebecki where Klein's like
the rangy longer fighter and I thought
it would look somewhat even in the size
dynamic here, but Mesayev is a massive
lightweight
and just pushed Klein backwards, kept
the pressure on him, landed some really
good shots, stung him with a big shot up
against the cage towards the end of
round two, and finished with some really
nasty ground and pound. Solid win from
Tofiq Mesayev.
Um I'm still wishing for his demise, but
not yet. Not yet. Great win by Mesayev.
Solid win. On the feet, if he would have
out-grappled Klein, I would have been
like, "Oh, you know,
who we who you know, it's hard to tell
if he's going to be able to do that
against a guy like Klein. I guess we
should have seen it coming with a Gamrot
performance." It would have been like
that, but Klein actually defended
takedowns pretty well.
And Mesayev just didn't give him any
room on the feet to work kicks or
anything.
Um Klein would land some kicks and some
knees to the body, but Mesayev was just
stinging him with punches and staying
pretty defensively responsible. So, good
striking fight from Tofiq Mesayev. We
move on.
Miloš Janičić versus Noa Guignon
I went with Noa Guignon. I think Bonus
did go with Noa Guignon here.
Um Miloš Janičić had a lot of hype
coming into this one.
Um people were pretty amped up for his
debut in that region.
Um he had a bunch of fights on like
some, you know, dirty boxing and dirty
boxing and all this type of stuff and
some other things. He was a dangerous
striker and he did look like a dangerous
striker in the first round. But after a
couple of low kicks from Noa Guignon
or Guignon, I don't know how to
pronounce his name, but uh Noa the gun
after a couple low kicks, Miloš
Janičić's leg kind of gave way on him,
his rear leg. And yes, it was an injury,
but I think it was because of the low
kicks of Noah because he was landing on
him, and Milos Janicic
was leaning so far over his own lead leg
that the second he was forced to put
weight on the back one, it was just not
in a position to hold him.
You know? It wasn't like a situation
where two guys are just moving around
and then boom, one of their leg explodes
when they throw something or they do
something. It was like Gungon was
chopping his lead leg, and when Janicic
had to like back up on his rear one, it
was still in the position of him like
launching overhands and trying to get to
the chin of Noah Gungon, so
tough for Milos Janicic.
His leg's cooked. Noah Gungon chopped at
his legs. Didn't really get hit by
anything too clean on the feet early.
Um took down Milos Janicic and beat the
[ __ ] out of him on the ground.
Um getting a submission win. Nasty win
by Noah Gungon. Got the rear naked
choke, and that was all she wrote. Great
win by Noah Gungon, and uh he said on
the mic, "I just finished your comrade."
or something like that. I don't I don't
remember what he said, but he had a bit
of a bad guy moment on the mic, so some
aura points there. We move on.
>> [snorts]
>> Vlasto Ceppo versus Gilbert Urbina.
Um Gilbert Urbina in big 2026.
>> [snorts]
>> Vlasto Ceppo we we always knew he was a
uh
dangerous power striker and not much
else,
but that's been able to beat Urbina many
times before. But Urbina toughed out
some damage early.
Got hit with a bunch of shots.
Um not too many, I guess, in hindsight,
but it looked like he was on the back
foot getting hit with the majority of
them.
Um maybe like seven to one in big shots
early. And then he stung Vlasto Ceppo. I
was literally saying it while Chepko was
swinging. He's so open defensively and
then bang.
Arbina stings him with a shot on the
back foot. Chepko goes down and Arbina
beats the [ __ ] out of him with ground
and pound for a TKO finish in round one.
I will say
great win by Gilbert Arbina.
Gilbert Arbina victory in 2026.
The guy literally is known for just
losing non-stop. Crazy victory from him.
New look as well. Maybe it's a new
Arbina.
But uh Vlasto Chepko
this physique is not what I saw on the
regional scene, dude.
You are a roid merchant on the regional
scene perhaps, question mark. I'm asking
a question.
If you look at pictures of Vlasto Chepko
and the way he looked on the regional
scene, this is not what we ordered,
dude.
This is not what was advertised. This
soft-bodied guy
that came out there in his UFC debut, so
Listen, man. You're going to get found
out. You're going to get found out and
you're going to get fraud checked by
Gilbert Arbina of all people, so good
win from Arbina, dude. Big underdog
pulls it off. Vlasto Chepko loses. We
move on.
Duško Todorović versus Robert Valentin.
I went with Robert Valentin by
submission over Duško Todorović. I could
also have seen a TKO. I can't remember
what I said specifically, but Robert
Valentin's got really nasty guillotines
and front chokes. You can't shoot lousy
takedowns against him. And Duško
Todorović is just so finishable in so
many moments of a fight. On the feet,
he's very chinnable. On the in the
grappling sequences, he's very
vulnerable in the way that he shoots in
to give up that guillotine or to give up
a darce or an Anaconda choke. And Robert
Valentin, even though
he's been hitting missing his career,
if you give him a finish, he'll take it
every time. Like, he's a he's a jump for
a finish type of guy. It costed him
against Ryan Loader,
but this time he was more patient. He
got position. Duško Todorović reversed
it, and then Robert Valentin reversed
him back. And uh he actually nearly had
Duško Todorović
in like a standing guillotine in round
one.
Um this isn't the picture of it, but uh
yeah, this was round one. He nearly
picked him up in a standing guillotine.
Medić did save the night, correct, by
the way.
Um we'll get to him in a second, but he
nearly badly caught Todorović in a
standing guillotine. And then just a
couple reversals and scrambles on the
ground, and Robert Valentin was always
one step ahead of him.
Always one step ahead of Duško
Todorović. Anytime Todorović scra- uh
scrambled,
um Robert Valentin was in a better
position,
and uh just got it done.
Really nasty win.
Really nasty finish.
Um sunk in the guillotine deep, and
Duško Todorović taps. Um and then he
gave a speech afterwards how similar
they are, and how, you know, I always
find that very humiliating for the
loser, but Duško was a decent sport
about it, I guess. Probably his last
fight in the UFC. And for Robert
Valentin, he's got some momentum
together. I think he's pretty decent,
you know, he had that fight with a
Tevita Cire after his mom died, and he
just looked like a shell of himself in
the first round. Um but when he switched
on, he can be a pretty tricky finisher
in the middleweight division, so good
win from Robzilla. We move on.
Aleksandar Rakić versus Marcin [ __ ]
Tybura, dude.
Rakić wins the fight very clearly. Round
two was actually reasonably competitive.
The commentary was talking about what
Tybura needs to do, but Rakic did not
really do much in the second round and
it made it so that Tybura, also not
doing much, made it quite even. Round
one very clear to Rakic. He out low
kicked Tybura.
He swung a lot in combination early, but
he's so
low in punch power. It's remarkable. For
a 6'4" athlete like Aleksandar Rakic,
he is has negative punch power. I don't
think we've ever seen him score a KO
with a punch.
He caught Devin Clark with like a
backfist
with his forearm.
I don't know if we've ever seen Rakic
actually hurt someone with a punch.
This is why we got bamboozled into the
Yair great chin
uh
what's it called conspiracy.
But first round, Rakic picking away at
Tybura. Tybura crafty getting blobbish.
Round two, Tybura makes it a bit closer,
but I still gave it to Aleksandar Rakic.
Close round though and [ __ ] to watch,
man.
Such low output. No big shots from
Rakic.
I felt like he should have finished
Tybura here, man. I believe in Rakic as
a technical fighter.
Surely you should be chopping up Marcin
Tybura's legs in this fight at a bare
minimum.
Round three.
Rakic did enough to get ahead early and
started fast.
Um landed some elbows in the clinch.
Tybura landed one back on him that cut
him open. And then for the last three
and a half minutes of round three, he's
pushing Tybura up against the cage.
It was really uneventful to watch.
Um and he really soaked in the uh
victory. I don't know. Shout out to
Rakic, but uh people are saying it here.
Bro had a competitive fight with a
40-year-old gatekeeper and he's acting
like he won the title.
But, you know, yeah, he really soaked in
the victory, but I thought man, is Tom
really that good compared to these guys?
Because
I felt like he really This should have
been a nice statement performance from
him. And he did win, but he just looked
like a the most shredded MMA blob
in UFC history, somehow, which was
really weird. We move on up the card to
another fight which was
I got this one wrong. Jan Błachowicz vs.
Magomed Ankalaev. I guess the odds were
correct.
And I know there's a lot of people out
there. First of all, amazing first-round
finish by Magomed Ankalaev.
Heartbreaking as a Jan Błachowicz fan.
Also knowing that Magomed Ankalaev is
Guram Kutateladze is also quite
rewarding feeling. I'm a little bit
confused emotionally here.
But, this was a really nasty finish from
Magomed Ankalaev. I didn't believe he
was going to do it against Jan
Błachowicz.
I thought the odds were disrespectful.
I've seen Magomed Ankalaev
This was the easiest fight of his
career. I know he got caught early.
But, he ain't done that to a lot of
light heavyweights, but he rose to the
occasion. And sometimes that's what it
takes for fighters, you know, to just
shed off that
I'm expected to do well vibe. You know
what I mean? Like I'm expected to go out
there and get a first-round KO of this
guy. And then it doesn't happen. But, in
this fight it was kind of like a [ __ ]
it, we ride. You know what I mean? Let's
see what [ __ ] happens, dude. Jan
Błachowicz, couple weeks notice, on
holiday in Serbia. Let's [ __ ] go for
it, dude. And then he ended up shining
big time. He looked sharp on the feet
early with his kicks. Jan was checking a
lot of them, but Sterling was just going
shin to shin with him. Landed some good
kicks early. Jan stung him with a left
hook to his eye.
And Sterling kind of took a knee for a
second.
Um, but I don't think he was hurt that
badly. It was just a shocking shot that
caught him.
And then bang, Navaho Sterling catches
Jan Błachowicz down the pipe with a
right hand.
Jan Błachowicz going for his left hook.
Straight punches beat looping punches,
dude. The weasel told us
years ago.
Navaho Sterling gets a first-round
finish over Jan Błachowicz. And very
important to note,
in the middle, and this is a crazy thing
that happened, in the middle of Navaho
Sterling TKO'ing Jan Błachowicz, and by
the way, nasty ground and pound, split
open Jan with some elbows on bottom,
landed massive shots in the guard of Jan
Błachowicz.
Um
and just finished him off there and
then.
In the middle of Jan Błachowicz sinking
to the canvas, he became old and washed
up. It was crazy.
You guys should have been there for it,
dude. He became old and washed up
immediately as Navaho Sterling stung him
on the chin. And what I mean by that is
um
what I mean by that is
yes, Jan is old as [ __ ] but Jan was old
when he fought Glover.
And that's not And now he's out of his
prime. Man, prime Jan will never be
forgotten.
He's been an old [ __ ]
And I know he was coming off a knee
surgery and whatever, and I it does play
into it,
but he's taken fights with like Albeurg
off of shoulder surgery and
this fight against him, and he's had
many surgeries throughout his career.
He's in his early 40s.
He's been in his late 30s. He's been 40
years old, 41 against Alex Pereira, 42
against Carlos Albeurg, and taken him to
split decisions.
Navaho Sterling chinning him is very
impressive to me. And I think he's a
very dangerous light heavyweight to
watch out for. And this type of win is
the right
I've seen Navaho's interviews, and I've
even spoken to him about this before.
After some of his wins over these guys
that you should be destroying that he
didn't, um he's very hard on himself.
And uh I think this is the type of thing
to like finally feel that
yeah, I can be a world champion at this
[ __ ] you know what I mean? Like I can
legitimately beat these top contenders.
This is going to be a massive confidence
boost for Aljamain Sterling. Really
nasty finish. And uh let me tell you,
dude, man like [ __ ]
What's it again?
I was trying to commentate by using
this. Man like Carlos Ulberg, dude,
[ __ ] Ulberg.
Disgusting lad.
Man like Carlos Ulberg, dude, from the
upper hut.
How far we've come. 28 years of age,
young at lightweight by the way.
Ulberg's pretty old.
It's going to cause some complications
cuz now they've got Ulberg and Aljamain
Sterling and sorry, Carlos Ulberg.
Um now they've got Ulberg and Carlos
Ulberg and Robert Whittaker at the top
of the division, so
I think eventually they're going to have
to fight each other, but they don't seem
keen on it. But uh nasty finish from
Aljamain Sterling, dude. Wicked. And Yan
I don't want to see him keep losing. And
he's been chin again. He is old.
I know he He's Here's my thing. Yan is
old as [ __ ] and past his prime,
but he's been that way for [ __ ]
years. I really think so. He was still
quite old and past his prime when he
fought Israel Adesanya. He's been quite
plodding, you know? And not the uh
dynamic scrambler that he used to be on
the ground at least. Like
But yeah, Aljamain Sterling puts him
away back KO. Really nasty finish. I
didn't think he'd be ready for it. Not
on not not on short notice.
Um and not after some of his recent
performances. Like I thought, dude, if
if those guys are making it competitive,
Jan's going to be a [ __ ] problem, but
he smacked him straight on his [ __ ]
chin and put Jan Błachowicz away. He's
massive for the division, and you could
really tell that when he got into full
guard on top of Jan because he was just
postured up, smashing elbows through the
guard.
And it looked bad, dude. It was bad. It
was bad, man.
My sub.
Um great win by Aljamain Sterling. We
move on. Main main event, Uroš Medić
versus Daniel Rodriguez.
Uroš Medić immediate first-round slam
out KO.
Nasty win.
Nasty win by Uroš Medić.
30 seconds in, he delivers for Serbia. I
mean, you got to understand, before this
point on the card, Rakic had
underdelivered. Duško Todorović had been
finished by Valentin and looked like
[ __ ] Keppo got finished by [ __ ]
Gilbert Urbina. Um Miloš Janičić was
from that region and originally Serbian
but from Montenegro. And he got beaten
by Noa I don't know via finish.
Slovakian Ludovít Klein ended up getting
defeated on that card as well as a
pretty decently sized favorite.
Um Boris Lov went to a decision, you
know?
Like it started getting a bit
iffy for fighters from this region
before this main event, but you know who
held it down in Serbia's time of need,
Uroš Medić. I was worried about him in
this fight because he is a bit of a coin
flip guy if he doesn't get that first
round finish, fights can change for him.
Like the odds are definitely going to
close up if we leave that first round.
But uh leaving that first round with
Uroš Medić is a very tricky thing to do.
And you kind of got to be lucky to do
it. Myktybek Orolbai outgrappled Uroš
Medić and ended up submitting him. If
you remember that fight,
Uroš nearly [ __ ] finished him in the
first round by TKO. Like he had him
quite badly hurt in the first round of
that fight and then My Thai bet just wet
blanketed him and eventually got a
submission. But Uros puts away D-Rod in
spectacular fashion. Round one goes out
there, couple shots back and forth, I
think a couple low kicks back and forth
between the two of them. D-Rod looks to
close the distance and Uros Medic stings
him with a lead hook, throws the right
hand, it hits the chest, throws the left
hand again, three punch combination.
Pop pop pop like that, very fast.
Um and the last one lands behind the ear
of D-Rod as well. But the first one was
the one that did the majority of the
damage. The rest of it was just
follow-up [ __ ] Then on the way
down to the canvas, he hits D-Rod with a
knee to the arms and the guard that
sends him flipping backwards.
And then we didn't see it until the
replay.
But the second D-Rod hits the ground,
Uros just [ __ ] soccer kicks him in
the stomach on the ground. And now
D-Rod's covered up on the ground like,
what the [ __ ] have I been hit with? I've
been hit by three punches, a knee to my
guard, and now oh my body as well from
this punt to the stomach from Uros
Medic. He unleashed like five different
moves on D-Rod within the space of about
2 seconds or a second of this fight and
put him away. 30-second TKO.
Serbian needed him. He soaked it in in
the main event uh post-fight interview.
Um they got a star on their hands, dude.
Great win by uh
>> [sighs]
>> Great win. Of course people are going to
give props for uh D-Rod, you know,
sympathy [ __ ] but dude, it's all about
the winner, dude. Uros Medic pieced the
[ __ ] No one does that to D-Rod, dude. I
know I know Ian Garry eventually caught
him with a head kick in their fight,
but to just put him away easily with a
punch on the chin, Uros must hit
different in that division.
He's one of It went from like a guy who,
you know, he's a bit of a coin flip, but
now he's got momentum to
I'm starting to think this guy is one of
the most dangerous first-minute fighters
in UFC in the UFC right now.
I mean, I know there's heavyweights and
there's higher division guys, but
in terms of that first minute of
fighting, Uros might be the most
locked-in there is. Like, you really
have to watch your p's and q's in the
first minute of a fight with Uros Medic,
and I think now that he's in big fight
moments,
that's going to help him out.
Okay? On the lower down of the uh of his
career, when he was facing lesser-known
guys and he was on the prelims of the
apex and
guys don't have
they still have that fear and that
pressure,
but to be in a main event and the
crowd's going wild and this is a very
important fight of your career, maybe
the biggest fight of your career. If
Leon Edwards comes back against him and
it's in the main event of a UK Fight
Night and if Edwards loses, he's done,
it adds to the potency of Uros Medic's
fight style.
You know? Don't be going out there
nervous about losing. And now that
people know that he's capable of it at
such a consistent rate against good
opponents,
it's going to just increase the potency.
So, I think he's got a good chance
against any well-to-do Um I don't know
who I'd confidently pick him to beat,
but
in that opening window, he's going to
have a solid shot to catch a lot of
these guys that you may deem better than
him as a fighter based on what they've
accomplished and how they've performed.
But in the first round, dude, Uros is an
extremely explosive first-round finisher
and yeah, just a nasty, nasty fighter,
dude. Serbia saved.
Uros Medic holds his ground and delivers
a massive main event win. Great card
overall.
I didn't do great on picks, but I didn't
do too bad.
I went with Luciano by sub. I got it. I
went with Lekko to win. Got it.
Milosevic to win. Got it. Rebecchi to
win. Got it. Grad to win. Got it.
Nikolic to win. Got it. We won't talk
about this one, but that's what
1 2 3 4 5 6 6 and 1
6 and 2
Got the Noa Gugnon win. Pretty coin
flippy of a fight, but I got the Noa
Gugnon win. 7 and 2. Uh Beana pulls it
off. What the [ __ ]
Uh 7 and 3. Then Valentin got it. Rakic
got it. Sterling or Yan was kind of the
debate going into this fight week. And I
still got the main event in Uros Medic.
First round TKO. Nasty win, dude. Great
win by Uros Medic. And I'm a big fan of
him, so I hope he keeps doing well. Like
and subscribe. Thank you for watching
Tido Pip. I'll see you later. Goodbye.
