Uros Medic plans to make a statement at UFC 334 on Saturday.
Medic is set to take on Kevin Holland in a fun welterweight scrap where the winner could skyrocket up the rankings. Both are fan-friendly strikers, and many expect it to end by knockout by someone, and Medic is confident it will be him getting his hand raised.
“(When I get another finish), it will speak for itself, and I will move forward into a higher rankings spot, and look for a bigger name,” Medic said to UFC.com. “Kevin is one of the bigger names in the division, one of those big gatekeepers, but there are a lot bigger names, a lot bigger fish to catch, so I’ll be working on that once we get this job done.”
Holland is a tough out, so knocking him out would be impressive and would propel Medic up the welterweight rankings.
Uros Medic believes Kevin Holland had his time
Medic enters UFC 334 on a four-fight winning streak and looking like a true contender. He believes that is the case, and Holland is no longer the contender he once was and is now just a gatekeeper of the top-15.
“It’s just my time; it’s my time, man,” Medic said. “I feel it. I know I’m ready. I’m ready for these challenges, and I’ve trained, put in the time and effort all these years, and it’s my five minutes. … I’m immensely grateful for the opportunity, for the fans, for the people watching because without them, none of it is possible. I owe them, and I’m gonna deliver. …
“Kein had his moment. He’s had many moments. He’s one of the fighters that has fought the most and done well in multiple divisions. I’m not afraid to admit (that), and I know he’s an exceptional athlete, but I know that this is my time now.”
If Medic does get a knockout win over Holland, it would be impressive and cement him as a true title contender at welterweight.
Uros Medic enters UFC 334 with a record of 14-3 and is coming off a 30-second knockout win over Daniel Rodriguez in the main event of UFC Belgrade. On his win streak, he also has KO wins over Geoff Neal, Muslim Salikhov, and Gilbert Urbina. Medic is 8-3 in the UFC and 6-2 since moving to welterweight.
