Uros Medic’s dominant first-round knockout of Daniel Rodriguez in the August 1 UFC Belgrade main event elevated the Serbian welterweight to the #10-13 range while triggering widespread speculation about his next opponent. Medic’s post-fight callout of former champion Leon Edwards, combined with his expressed interest in rising contenders such as Carlos Prates and Michael Morales, has kept multiple high-profile names in play. A minor knee injury sustained during fight week is expected to sideline him only briefly, with a potential return targeted for November or December. No matchup has been officially announced, leaving the division’s competitive depth and scheduling variables to sustain a tightly bunched field of possibilities among established ranked fighters and emerging threats.
