Uroš Medić flips the script at home, then sets his sights on Kevin Holland at Madison Square Garden

Uroš Medić is approaching his Madison Square Garden headliner with a simple message, this is his time. The Serbian welterweight’s confidence is rooted in recent momentum, including an August homecoming that ended almost immediately.

At UFC’s Belgrade stop, Medić fought Daniel Rodriguez and finished him in 30 seconds, an outcome Medić described as the biggest moment of his career to date. The win extended his winning streak to four straight fights ending in the first round, and he said he is still trying to absorb the reception from his countrymen.

Medić framed the result as both a personal milestone and a professional launch point. He has not been to a decision in his UFC career, and the UFC release also notes his record of 14-3 with 12 knockouts and two submissions, with only one fight going outside the second round.

The performance also appears to be moving him into the division conversation. The UFC reported Medić climbed to No. 9 in the Meta rankings and No. 12 in the media set after his Belgrade stoppage.

Now Medić’s next test is tied to Madison Square Garden at Polymarket UFC 334, set for Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026. The card’s main event is listed as Gane vs Hokit, and the UFC release positions Medić against Kevin Holland as the next major step for his current run, with Medić explicitly saying he is aiming for another finish.
