All Fighters Make Weight as UFC Finalizes First Belgrade Card

Clean weigh-ins clear the way for Saturday’s full Paramount+ broadcast and boost local interest in the homegrown headliner.

Overview

  • The official weigh-ins on Friday showed all 28 fighters on the 14-fight card hit their marks, confirming the matchups for Saturday at Belgrade Arena.
  • Main-event welterweights Uros Medic and Daniel Rodriguez each weighed 171 pounds, with Medic headlining in his home country while riding a three‑fight first‑round knockout streak.
  • Aleksandar Rakic weighed 237.5 pounds for his move to heavyweight against Marcin Tybura, who hit 254 pounds, marking a notable career jump for Rakic.
  • Former light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz made 205 pounds for a short-notice bout with Navajo Stirling, reflecting late changes to the card but no weight issues.
  • UFC Belgrade will air in full on Paramount+ with U.S. prelims and main card start times announced, and the smooth weigh-ins remove the last major obstacle to the promotion’s Serbia market test.
