What happened: Rodriguez called his journey movie material ahead of his Aug. 1 bout with Uroš Medić. The welterweights will close a 14-fight card at Belgrade Arena.
Why it matters: The booking gives Rodriguez his first UFC headliner and places him opposite Serbia's only ranked UFC fighter. A win would strengthen either man's position in the division's top 15.
By the numbers: Rodriguez is ranked No. 15 and enters on a three-fight UFC winning streak, with 10 Octagon victories. No. 14 Medić has won three straight, all by first-round knockout, and is 7-3 in the UFC.
What to watch: The main card begins Saturday at 1 p.m. ET.
