Uros
Medic had an eventful night at
UFC Houston on Saturday. 

Medic (13-3) co-headlined the card against welterweight veteran
Geoff
Neal at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. “The Doctor” sent
Neal to the shadow realm with a left hook to the temple in the very
first round.

Medic revealed that he was congratulated by President Donald Trump
immediately after his win. Trump lauded Medic for dispatching Neal,
who was known for his durability until his last few losses. Medic,
who was born in Serbia, also shares ethnic similarity to the first
lady of the United States, Melania Trump, who was born in Slovenia.
Medic had also pleaded for the resolution of his immigration issues
in his post-fight Octagon interview. Trump promised that the

UFC welterweight would be free to travel. Medic was overwhelmed
by the conversation, which seemed unreal initially.

“They brought me back,” Medic told the UFC. “Dana was in the
office, as soon as I walked in, he puts the president on the phone.
And Mr. President is like, ‘Hey, that was a hell of a fight, he’s a
tough cookie and you just knocked him out.’ And I was like – Is
this really happening? I couldn’t believe it. Anyways, I loved Mr.
President and his first lady, his wife. She’s from where I’m
basically from, Slovenia-Serbia, it’s almost the same. She speaks
my language, I mentioned that. It’s just been a wonderful
conversation. He said, ‘You’re set, you’re good to go, wherever you
need to go, you’re gonna walk in like a president of the United
States.’”

Medic walked away with a $100,000 “Performance of the Night” bonus
for his knockout win over Neal at UFC Houston. Medic has finished
all 13 of his career wins so far and is currently on a three-fight
first-round knockout streak.
