UFC Belgrade's Uros Medic has confidently predicted that Islam Makhachev will finish Ian Machado Garry in their upcoming welterweight title fight at UFC 330 in Philadelphia. This clash marks Makhachev's first title defense after securing the belt at UFC 322, while Garry seeks to continue his winning momentum from recent victories. Medic criticized Garry's perspective, asserting that Makhachev will end the fight within three rounds. Medic, riding a three-fight finish streak himself, is set to headline UFC Belgrade soon against Daniel Rodriguez.
