UFC returns this weekend with a more low-key fight card, but one primed for violence. UFC Fight Night: Serbia takes place in Belgrade and starts very early for American MMA fans.
Fierce finisher Uros Medic enters the biggest stage of his career, fighting Daniel Rodriguez in a welterweight main event. Rodriguez, freshly released from Mexican prison, is a veteran of 25 fights and currently holds a three-fight winning streak. Medic has never won—or lost —a fight by decision.
As always with Fight Nights outside of America, there are some particulars to consider. Here’s everything you need to know.
