Sean Shelby's Shoes: What's next for Uros Medic after UFC Belgrade win?
Is Uros Medic a legit threat welterweight after his 30-second KO at UFC Belgrade? Perhaps this next matchup answers that.
Uros Medic delivered an impressive performance at UFC Fight Night 283 in Serbia, delivering a swift and devastating knockout of Daniel Rodriguez in just 30 seconds. This marked Medic's fourth consecutive first-round knockout in UFC competition, an achievement only surpassed by two other fighters in the organization's history. Despite the quality of competition being somewhat questionable, Medic's talent at 170 pounds cannot be denied.
His newfound confidence in the cage is sure to give him an edge in future bouts. However, the question remains whether Medic can realistically make a run at the very top of the welterweight division, which is currently one of the sport's deepest weight classes. With numerous high-level fighters vying for attention, Medic will need a significant opportunity to climb the ranks.
His age of 33 suggests that he is at the peak of his career, and he must seize this moment to secure a big fight. A potential callout from Leon Edwards, a former champion despite his recent losing streak, could provide Medic with a stepping stone to the top five. Additionally, Medic might want to consider challenging Rocky, a name that has been insinuated as a future opponent.
