Uros Medic wants to dance with a former UFC welterweight titleholder following a quick win at home.
Medic went one-on-one with Daniel Rodriguez in the UFC Belgrade main event this past Saturday. It only took Medic 30 seconds to put a halt to “D-Rod’s” three-fight winning streak via TKO. It was Rodriguez’s first fight since being released from prison back in April.
Speaking to media members during the UFC Belgrade post-fight press conference, Medic said he is now targeting Edwards for a showdown inside the Octagon. If Medic can’t get the fight, it won’t take him long to turn his focus elsewhere (via MMAJunkie).
“Leon Edwards next, probably,” Medic said. “Leon Edwards if he makes himself available. I’m not going to bully him anymore. If he doesn’t want to fight, we fight someone else. It’s not a big deal.”
Edwards has been on a slide as of late, losing three fights in a row. His most recent loss was a brutal knockout at the hands of Carlos Prates back in Nov. 2025. Edwards hasn’t emerged victorious since late 2023.
If “Rocky” isn’t available for Medic anytime soon, then the surging Serbian would like to clash with a prominent name in the 170-pound rankings.
“He is ranked where I want to be ranked, so that puts me closer to where I want to be, and that’s with the belt around my waist,” Medic said.
Medic will receive a boost when the Meta UFC rankings panel is updated. He held the No. 14 spot prior to UFC Belgrade, while Rodriguez was one position ahead of him. As far as the media panel rankings are concerned, Medic was actually ahead of “D-Rod.”
