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.[3]
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.[4]

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.[5] 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.[6] Todorović was expected to face Phillips on 16 July 2020 at UFC Fight Night: Kattar vs. Ige.[7] On 8 July Todorović pulled out due to a potential medical issue.[8]
Todorović finally made his UFC debut against Dequan Townsend on October 4, 2020 at UFC on ESPN: Holm vs. Aldana.[9] He won the fight via technical knockout in round two.[10] This win earned him the Performance of the Night bonus.[11]
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.[12]
Todorović was scheduled to face Maki Pitolo on June 5, 2021 at UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs. Sakai.[13] However, two weeks ahead of the bout, Pitolo had to pull out due to unknown reasons and was replaced by Gregory Rodrigues.[14][15] He lost the bout via unanimous decision.[16]
The bout between Pitolo and Todorović was rescheduled on December 4, 2021 at UFC on ESPN 31.[17] He won the fight via technical knockout in round one.[18]
