UFC Belgrade Main Card Preview
Main Event: Uros Medic (13-3) vs. Daniel Rodriguez (20-5)
- Pick: Medic via KO
- Why: Medic will look to use the momentum and the atmosphere to bring down D-Rod, who is an excellent boxer. Due to his explosiveness and the fact that he fights in Serbia, we pick Doctor here. Rodriguez is better on long runs, but we strongly believe Medic’s fighting style won’t allow this one to get past the second round.
Co-Main Event: Jan Blachowicz (29-11-2) vs. Navajo Stirling (10-0)
- Pick: Blachowicz via decision
- Why: Stirling’s 10-0 record looks ferocious, but Błachowicz holds a massive advantage in big-fight experience, body kicking, and top-control grappling. Sure, there’s an age gap involved, and the fact that Blachowicz prepared for a different rival (Guskov), but overall he looks like a better fighter here.
Aleksandar Rakic (14-6) vs. Marcin Tybura (27-11)
- Pick: Rakic via KO
- Why: Rakic holds a significant advantage in speed and footwork. Tybura must drag the fight into low-block clinch battles along the fence to neutralize Rakić’s range strikes. Still, we believe that the Serb holds an edge over his rival when it comes to combining strong combos, and that Tybura doesn’t have enough power to defend himself.
Duško Todorovic (13-6) vs. Robert Valentin (12-6)
- Pick: Todorović
- Why: Todorovic is a more experienced fighter who has faced some pretty good rivals in his career. Sure, injuries ruined this guy’s career, but we still see some potential in him. Meanwhile, Valentin is on the UFC payroll, yet, to be honest, we don’t know for how long. Even though the records of these two look similar, Todorovic’s CV is way better, and that’s why we pick him to win. Bookies don’t think so, yet we do.
Vlasto Cepo (14-3) vs. Gilbert Urbina (7-5)
- Pick: Cepo
- Why: This fight will show that Urbina isn’t the guy for the UFC organization, and that instead Cepo should take his place. The Serb is a way more powerful fighter, which is in this case enough for his triumph.
Prop Pick of the Night
- Rakic KO Round 1
- Why: The Rocket will have to use the momentum, as he knows that his chances of winning this one are much higher in the opening round than in the following ones. He has everything needed to KO Tybura, and we believe his quickness and speed will be vital, especially in the opening round while he is 100% fresh.
