Lasts 41 seconds in Mexico City
Medina lost to Ryan Gandra via TKO (punches) at 0:41 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Mexico City.
ANALYSIS
The UFC gave Medina another shot despite the fact he entered with an 0-3 record with the company (plus a loss on Dana White's Contender Series), and he rewarded them by lasting all of 41 seconds. The 34-year-old Bolivian was backed up against the cage the second the opening bell rang, eating unanswered shots until referee Horacio Lopez had finally seen enough. Very few fighters have ever been given the opportunity to go 0-5 with the company, and it seems highly unlikely Medina will get a chance to join the group. You simply don't survive four straight losses, including the last three via first-round stoppage.

Facing Gandra in Mexico
Medina will take on Ryan Gandra in a middleweight bout at UFC Mexico on Feb. 28, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Media is 0-3 in the UFC and is desperate for a win. Most recently, he fell to Dusko Todorovic via Rear Naked Choke in September. He'll get a chance to earn his first victory against an opponent in Gandra who has yet to step into a UFC Octagon yet, but it's going to take a lot to salvage Medina's stint with the promotion.

Falls to 0-4 with UFC
Medina lost to Dusko Todorovic via submission (rear-naked choke) at 4:21 of Round 1 at UFC Noche on Saturday in San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
You have to feel for Medina at this point. Entering with an 0-3 mark in his first three fights with the company, the UFC gave him a lower-level opponent in Todorovic here, and he was still finished within a round. Medina was blasted on the feet before falling to the ground and getting choked out. There will almost certainly not be a fifth opportunity forthcoming.

Another chance for win
Medina is scheduled to compete against fellow middleweight Dusko Todorovic at Noche UFC in San Antonio on Sept. 13, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
For the UFC, Medina's career began with an 0-2 record, with losses to Zachary Reese (decision) and Ateba Gautier (TKO via strikes). Medina has what looks like one last opportunity to get a win in the promotion by defeating Todrovic, on a three-fight losing streak.

Still searching for first UFC win
Medina lost to Ateba Gautier via TKO (strikes) at 3:32 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Mexico City.
ANALYSIS
The UFC continues to serve Medina up as a stepping stone to younger opponents, and he continues to fill his role to perfection. This was by far his worst performance to date. Facing an opponent in Gautier with all of seven pro fights under his belt entering the evening, Medina ate a huge knee before getting finished off with some follow-up strikes. The 33-year-old Bolivian earned a UFC opportunity despite actually dropping a unanimous decision on Dana White's Contender Series back in October 2023, so the company has nothing invested in him. Now officially 0-2 in the UFC in addition to that setback on DWCS, Medina's time with the promotion is almost certainly up.
