The first finish at UFC Vegas 109 saw one decorated finisher return to the win column in highlight-reel fashion. <\/p>\n
Competing in the third bout of a UFC Fight Night event headlined by top middleweight contenders Roman Dolidze and Anthony Hernandez, Uros Medic overcame some early adversity to brutally knock out Gilbert Urbina in just over a minute. <\/p>\n
The violent finish followed back-to-back decisions to open the UFC Vegas main card. Eric McConico narrowly defeated Cody Brundage in the night\u2019s opening bout before Gabriella Fernandes took a unanimous decision over Julija Stoliarenko. <\/p>\n

Lined as one of the bigger favorites coming into UFC Vegas 109, Medic entered the night looking to rebound from an upset-loss to Punahele Soriano that came via 31-second knockout at a UFC Fight Night event in January.<\/p>\n
