Uros Medic - Daniel Rodriguez: betting tip (cf 2.38) and bets on the fight

Current form 

Uros Medic remains one of the most spectacular fighters in his weight class. Although many experts believe that his optimal division is lightweight, even among welterweights, the Serb regularly demonstrates his signature striking power. His professional record is 12 wins (ten by knockout and two by submission) with three losses. It is noteworthy that Medich won all his victories ahead of schedule.

Recent performances only confirm the reputation of the most dangerous finisher. In the previous fight, he knocked out Jeff Neal in just 79 seconds. Before that, Muslim Salikhov and Gilbert Urbina were stopped in just 63 seconds. The only dark spot during this period was the defeat of Punaele Soriano, who defeated the Serbian in the 31st second. Two more career losses came in duels with Myktybek Orolbay and Jalin Turner, where Medich conceded with painful techniques.

Despite the impressive statistics of early victories, it is too early to talk about Medich as a future contender for the championship belt. His wrestling base is still his weak point, and meetings with elite all-rounders can be extremely difficult. Nevertheless, today the Serb ranks 14th in the UFC rankings and is confidently moving forward.

His striking stats deserve special attention. Medich is among the division's leaders in the percentage of knockdowns, and the accuracy of punctuated strikes reaches 60 percent. This speaks not only about power, but also about choosing the right moments to attack. The defense looks no less worthy — about 56 percent of successful actions allow him to avoid a large number of counter hits. The 33-year-old native of Novi Sad practiced judo and mastered kickboxing. For many years he trained and worked as a Brazilian jiu-jitsu coach in Anchorage.

For Daniel Rodriguez, the upcoming fight will be a comeback after more than a year of absence. The reason for such a long pause was not only sporting circumstances, but also problems with the law, because of which the American ended up in a Mexican prison. Before the forced break, Rodriguez managed to score several important victories. I especially remember his fight against Kevin Holland, where both fighters were repeatedly close to ending the fight ahead of schedule. Earlier, the American effectively knocked out Santiago Ponzinibbio and defeated Alex Morono by split decision. His last defeat was in a fight with Kelvin Gastelum. Rodriguez currently has ten wins and four losses under the auspices of the UFC. He will turn 40 in December.

The American traditionally relies on a high tempo and a large number of strokes. He willingly works in series, gradually accumulating an advantage in points and trying to exhaust his opponent by the late rounds. However, his recent knockouts should not be overestimated. Ponzinibbio has not looked the same for a long time, and Dwight Grant and Preston Parsons have never been known for reliable protection from heavy hits. Rodriguez is ranked 15th in the UFC welterweight rankings. The American has extensive experience of performing not only in the strongest league in the world, but also in Bellator, King of the Cage and Combat Americas. In addition, he is a former champion of the SMASH Global organization.
