Uros Medic put on a statement performance to stop Daniel Rodriguez in just 30 seconds at the UFC's first event in Belgrade, Serbia.
Medic returned to his homeland for the first time in nine years, having moved to the United States to train, and sent a message to the rest of the welterweight division.
Rodriguez, 39, was fighting for the first time since spending eight months in a Mexican jail for possession of marijuana.
Medic, 33, dropped American Rodriguez with a left-right combination before forcing referee Jason Herzog to step in as he finished with kicks and punches on the canvas.
"It has been a really rough couple of weeks since I arrived home," Medic said.
