Pre-fight analysis — how we saw it going in
Case for Milošević
Milošević has won eight in a row since dropping her professional debut on a split decision in November 2023, and she went 5-0 in 2025 with four first-round finishes. She is the first Serbian woman to sign with the UFC and fights at home, holding the Tahiti Fighting Championship bantamweight title she won on a vacant belt in May 2025. Her finishing is balanced — three knockouts and two rear-naked chokes.
Case for Cowan
Cowan is the only one of the two with Octagon experience, and her three Octagon losses came against opposition at this level. She has been finished in her last two, but she took Jamey-Lyn Horth the distance and has three decision wins of her own, so she knows how to drag a debutant into deep water on a night when the crowd is against her.
What We Were Watching For
- Debut nerves against Octagon experience — Milošević has never fought in the UFC, and Cowan has.
- The first round. Four of Milošević's eight wins ended inside it.
- Whether Cowan can make it a decision — three of her seven wins went to the cards, and Milošević has been the distance four times herself.
- Cowan's recent durability. She has been stopped in each of her last two, once by knee and once by rear-naked choke.
