Belgrade witnessed some spectacular fights, 14 in total, with one of the most anticipated being the first main card bout between Miloš Janičić and Nor Gunjona.
Miloš had high hopes, as did the Belgrade crowd, but unfortunately, it was all over within a minute. Janičić suffered a leg injury, which Gunjona capitalized on to secure the victory.
Among those who gloated after Miloš's defeat was Stefan Negucić, who took to Instagram stories, quoting lyrics from Slađa Delibašić's song "Dizel Power," which Janičić had used as his entrance music.

Here's how much money UFC earned in Belgrade
Belgrade hosted such an event for the first time, and as Dana White confirmed, it certainly won't be the last. The audience in our capital enjoyed 14 fights, with the vast majority ending in first-round knockouts.
Viewers worldwide also enjoyed the spectacle, with the event at the Belgrade Arena receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews. The UFC organization has now revealed how much money they generated solely from ticket sales at the Arena.
Indeed, 18,623 spectators attended the event, and with the lowest ticket price around 100 euros, it was clear the UFC would make a significant profit.
The final figure stands at $2,490,023, which is actually the highest sum in the Arena's history. However, all that money goes to the organization.
Belgrade passed its first UFC test with flying colors, so there's no doubt another such event awaits our largest city soon.
