Uros Medic suffers meniscus tear ahead of UFC Belgrade bout

Uros Medic experienced a torn meniscus during a warmup session on August 7, 2026, just days before his main event fight at UFC Fight Night 283 in Belgrade against Daniel Rodriguez. Despite the injury, Medic received treatment and managed to compete, stopping Rodriguez in the first round and extending his winning streak to four consecutive fights. However, Medic now faces surgery for the injury, which is expected to be arthroscopic with a one-month recovery time. He aims to return to training before the end of 2026, pending further consultations with an orthopedic surgeon.
