Duško Todorović (born May 19, 1994) is a Serbian mixed martial artist who competes in the Middleweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Background

Todorović started training taekwondo around the age of eight, continuing until his late teens.[3] He would also pick up wrestling and grappling along the way and after faring well in all disciplines, Todorović started training mixed martial arts around the age of 16.[3] Todorović attended the Informational Technologies School at the University of Belgrade, where he graduated with a thesis about Organization of Business Systems.[2][4]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Going 10-0 as an amateur, Todorović made his professional debut in 2015 under the Serbian Battle Championship banner, where he would spend most off his pre-UFC career. During his time there, Todorović took on and defeated the likes off DWCS alumni Alexander Poppeck and future UFC welterweight Michel Pereira,[2] giving Pereira the only KO loss of his career to that point.[5]

Dana White's Contender Series

Todorović was invited to participate on Dana White's Contender Series 26 on August 27, 2019 against Teddy Ash. Todorović won the bout in convincing fashion via unanimous decision and earned a contract to the UFC.[6]

Most of his 2020 were spent trying to arrange a UFC debut against John Phillips but this contest was cancelled three times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Todorović was scheduled to face Phillips on 21 March 2020 at UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs. Edwards.[7] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic travel bans, the bout was moved to Cage Warriors 113 but was later on removed from the card due to Todorović's travel restrictions.[8] Todorović was expected to face Phillips on 16 July 2020 at UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs. Ige.[9] On 8 July Todorović pulled out due to a potential medical issue.[10]

Todorović finally made his UFC debut against Dequan Townsend on October 4, 2020 at UFC on ESPN: Holm vs. Aldana.[11] He won the fight via technical knockout in round two.[12] This win earned him the Performance of the Night bonus.[13]

Todorović faced fellow DWCS alumni Punahele Soriano on January 16, 2021 at UFC on ABC: Holloway vs. Kattar. He lost for the first time in his career, getting TKO'd by Soriano at the end of the first round.[14]

As the last fight of his contract, Todorović was scheduled to face Maki Pitolo on June 5, 2021 at UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs. Sakai.[15][4] However, two weeks ahead of the bout, Pitolo had to pull out due to unknown reasons and was replaced by Gregory Rodrigues.[16][17] He lost the bout via unanimous decision.[18]

The bout between Pitolo and Todorović was rescheduled on December 4, 2021 at UFC on ESPN 31.[19] He won the fight via technical knockout in round one.[20]
