Gilbert Urbina - News & Rumors - UFC | FOX Sports

Booked vs. debutant Urbina will take on Vlasto Cepo in a middleweight bout at UFC Belgrade on Aug. 1, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.

Impact Urbina is coming off two straight losses. He last fell at the hands of Uros Medic in the first round of a fight back in August of 2025, and that dropped his UFC record to 1-3. He hasn't made it past the first round of a fight since his last win, a victory over Orion Cosce back in 2023.

Finished brutally in Vegas Urbina lost to Uros Medic via KO (punch) at 1:03 of Round 1 at UFC Vegas 109 on Saturday.

Impact Urbina is probably kicking himself here. He was credited with a knockdown early in the fight with a right hand that sent Medic to the canvas, but he failed to jump on his opponent, instead taking a patient approach. That allowed Medic to get back to his feet, and Medic -- a (-400) betting favorite -- was quickly finding a fight-ending combo. After eating a knee, Urbina fell right into a nasty left hand that had him out cold, but Medic still worked in a hammerfist for good measure. The loss marks Urbina's second consecutive defeat and third in four UFC fights. The company could decide to move on, but either way, Urbina likely needs some time off after this one.

Scheduled against Medic Urbina will face Uros Medic in a welterweight bout at UFC Vegas 109 on August 9, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.

Impact Urbina was scrapped from UFC Denver in 2024, and hasn't fought since February of that year against Charles Radtke, whom he lost to in the first round. Urbina has lost three of his last four fights, three of which came in the UFC. He'll look to reverse that trend against Medic, a slightly more experienced UFC combatant who is also looking to bounce back following a defeat.
