Uros Medic scored a first round knockout over Geoff Neal in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night Houston.
A victorious Medic took a huge risk taking the fight because he delayed surgery in order to compete in Houston.
“When they called me and asked if I was healthy, I was three days away from sinus surgery,” Medic told MMA Fighting. “I said I’m healthy, let’s go. I called the doctor’s office and said I cannot do this sinus surgery. We’re going to have to reschedule. I take that fight, I have such a hard time breathing. It got better because I got some stuff to wash it and to calm down the inflammation inside. Because from all the punching and the deviated septum, all the years of not breathing well, it kind of adds up to not being able to breath at all. Some nights I couldn’t sleep. I’m like this is the time to risk it. These are the good old days. This is what I’m going to be remembered for and I have to make this work. F*ck the fact that I cannot breathe. I’m going to make it work.”
Medic has now won three straight in the UFC, with those other victories coming over Muslim Salikhov and Gilbert Urbina.
The fighter would like his next Octagon appearance to come against a former UFC Welterweight Champion.
“I mean [Leon Edwards] just came to mind but I’ll fight anybody,” Medic said. “It came to mind because I think it would make an entertaining fight. You could put anybody in front of me but there’s guys who are just going to try to hug and run around for 15 minutes and nobody wants to watch that. Come on guys. If I have to teach them out to fight, I’ll teach them out to fight. I’ll be reminding them every fight and every post-fight interview, this is how you f*cking fight. You show up and you f*cking fight. Because that’s what you’re paid to do and what you got signed to do. Not to run around and try to score points. That’s nonsense to me.”
