Stephanie Luciano VS Marina Spasic

Stephanie Luciano submitted Marina Spasic with a rear-naked choke at 1:39 of round one in a women's strawweight bout on the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night: Medić vs. Rodriguez in Belgrade. Luciano secured the back position quickly in the opening exchanges, locking in the choke before Spasic could establish any sustained rhythm on the feet. The finish came in under two minutes, giving the Brazilian a dominant early stoppage on the road. The loss was a sharp disappointment for the Belgrade Arena crowd: Spasic was competing as the first Serbian fighter to make the walk in the UFC, with the event marking the promotion's debut in Serbia.

Marina Spasic becomes the first Serbian fighter to make the walk at UFC Belgrade, debuting before her home crowd with a 7-1 record and six stoppage wins built on elite Muay Thai pressure, calf kicks, and a sharp left hand. She faces Stephanie Luciano in her fourth UFC outing — a tall, rangy outside striker who rebounds from a 2025 split-decision loss looking to steal a moment from the hometown crowd.
