Urbina tagged into the finale of the middleweight tournament on Season 29 of The Ultimate Fighter back in 2021, losing to Bryan Battle, and has had mixed results since. After posting his first UFC win over Orion Cosce, the New Mexico-based battler has dropped consecutive contests by first-round stoppage, dropping his record to 7-4 overall.
This feels like one of those matchups where someone is getting laid out, and it’s probably going to be early, and it’s probably going to be violent, so you’re probably going to want to be paying close attention.

The 29-year-old Janicic becomes the first fighter from Montenegro to compete in the Octagon, doing so while riding an eight-fight winning streak that dates back to 2020 and has not involved the judges. He has been mixing up his martial arts in recent years, dabbling in boxing, kickboxing, and custom rules (dirty boxing) bouts, posting another four wins and one loss in those arenas, and comes into this one having beaten longtime UFC lightweight Alex “Cowboy” Oliveira in his last MMA appearance at the close of last year.
