Victory would also help keep the spotlight on Serbian fighters on the world stage back in his homeland. UFC is getting increased exposure in Serbia, and Todorovic wants to help lead the way in bringing more notoriety to Serbian MMA, and perhaps even open the door for UFC to one day bring an event to Serbia.
“It would be huge. Recently in Serbia, Arena Fight TV started collaborating with UFC, so they have their own UFC Instagram channel. They promote events together. And also my colleagues, Alexander Rakic, who was one of my training partners for this fight. [There’s] also, Uros Medic, and lots of fighters who are up and coming.
“I believe in two, three years, we’re going to have lot more UFC fighters. And it just brings a dose of excitement for what’s gonna come. So, yeah, it definitely feelsgood. And I think good things are coming to Serbia, and maybe even an event there. People there are crazy about MMA, so it would make sense to do that. So yeah, it starts with me, and let’s cross our fingers!”
