The UFC has officially announced it will hold its first-ever event in Belgrade, Serbia on August 1, marking the promotion's debut in the country and a landmark moment for MMA fans across the Balkans region.

- Further announcements on the main event and undercard structure will shape how significant the card becomes on the broader UFC calendar.
