Uros Medic looked phenomenal in his UFC debut as he made quick work of fellow Dana White Contender Series alum, Aalon Cruz. His next bout, however, may have been a bit too much and a little too soon. Jalin Turner is one of the top prospects in the UFC right now, regardless of weight class. A loss to Turner is nothing to hang one's head over, but it did derail Medic.

Omar Morales is another fighter that has taken on some of the top fighters in the division already, having made his debut against Giga Chikadze. Both Morales and 'The Doctor' entered this fight coming off of a loss, but Morales was the betting favorite. He looked good, too, as the fight began.

Medic was able to land at the end of the first round; this is what got the ball rolling in his favor. As the second round began, the 29-year-old didn't rush but he did pick up where he left off. Eventually, the powerful hands of Medic found the target and dropped Morales multiple times, forcing the referee to intervene.


#1. Chidi Njokuani finishes Dusko Todorovic

The 64% knockout rate of Njokuani was on full display as he took on Todorovic at this recent Fight Night event. In 'Chidi Bang Bang's' first UFC performance, he didn't really have the opportunity to showcase his skills, for he won via knockout in just 16-seconds.

While this bout went a bit longer, the dangerous striking of the 33-year-old was once again evident. After showing a bit of his grappling prowess and attempting a submission early in the round, Njokuani was able to work his way back up to his feet in hopes of separating and striking. Todorovic's grappling-heavy approach appeared to be successful, but things can change in an instant at this level of MMA.

Not the complete separation that he was looking for, but the 33-year-old took whatever he could get and made the most of it. While standing in the clinch, an elbow over the top of 'Thunder's' arm connected, sending the Serbian to the mat and unable to adequately defend himself.
