Gilbert Urbina defeats Vlasto Čepo in first‑minute TKO at UFC Belgrade debut

American mixed‑martial‑arts fighter Gilbert Urbina knocked out Serbian‑Slovak contender Vlasto Čepo in the opening minute of their bout at the UFC event in Belgrade's Arena. A precise left jab sent Čepo to the canvas, after which Urbina delivered a rapid ground‑and‑pound assault that forced the referee to stop the fight, awarding Urbina a technical knockout victory.

Urbina celebrated the win by saluting the crowd and flashing three fingers to the camera. The loss marked a disappointing UFC debut for Čepo, who had entered the octagon amid high expectations and a festive atmosphere featuring traditional Serbian music. Other local fighters also suffered defeats that night, but Urbina's swift victory was the headline result of the event.
