Taps out to newcomer
Medic lost to Myktybek Orolbai via submission (neck crank) at 4:12 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Orolbai accepted this fight four days ago, and it's quite clear at this point Medic wished he hadn't. Uros came out on fire, throwing bombs and connecting on quite a few, but once Orolbai flipped the script and leaned on his wrestling game, Medic was done. He displayed very little awareness in regards to defending on the mat, and his gas tank was quickly drained. He finally tapped out late in Round 2. The 30-year-old Alaska native is 3-2 in his first five UFC bouts, with all three wins coming via knockout and the two defeats via submission. Expect Medic to hover around the .500 mark moving forward.

Picks up late stoppage win
Medic defeated Matthew Semelsberger via TKO (strikes) at 2:36 of Round 3 at UFC 291 on Saturday in Salt Lake City.
ANALYSIS
As the old saying goes, it's now how you start, it's how you finish. Medic showed next to nothing in Round 1 and was in massive trouble following a Semelsberger knockdown. He survived and ended up regaining the momentum in Round 2. All three judges scored a close second frame for Medic, although that was far from guaranteed. A big right hand, a spinning shot and some follow-up strikes closed the show midway through Round 3. A product of Dana White's Contender Series, Medic is 3-1 in the UFC. All three victories have come via knockout and the one defeat was at the hands of a legitimate contender is Jalin Turner. Not a bad start.
