Uroš Medić’s emphatic first-round TKO of Daniel Rodriguez on August 1 in Belgrade elevated the Serbian welterweight into the top 12, but left his next opponent undecided amid a deep 170-pound division. With no official UFC announcement nearly seven weeks later, trader consensus remains tightly bunched around several ranked contenders. Recent form, stylistic clashes, and ranking implications favor matchups with Joaquin Buckley, Mike Malott, and Michael Venom Page, while Medić’s post-fight interest in higher-profile names like Leon Edwards adds further uncertainty. A reported meniscus injury sustained before the Rodriguez bout and the need for recovery time further complicate matchmaking, preventing any single fighter from pulling ahead in implied probability as the UFC weighs rest, promotional priorities, and divisional positioning.
