A professional MMA competitor since 2007, Tešanović mostly competed in the Eastern European circuit, before signing with the Bellator Fighting Championships.
Tešanović is regarded as a well-rounded fighter, due to his "solid stand-up, great ground work and dangerous clinch game." [2] Tešanović often utilises "soccer kicks" in fights, drawing on his footballing background. [3]
In addition to his professional MMA career, Tešanović has placed first in five Serbian submission fighting competitions. [2] He also holds a 5–1 record in amateur MMA and has been training since the age of 19. [2]

Tešanović was scheduled to make his English debut in December 2009 against Papy Abedi, [5] though the fight never took place as Tešanović withdrew. [6] His final appearance in his early career was against Gregor Herb. [3] Tešanović won the fight via decision. [1]
In August 2010, Tešanović signed with Bellator. [7] Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney stated that "Dragan Tešanović has tremendous potential to become a dominant middleweight" and that "his diverse training regime and quickly progressing skill-set set the table for him to make substantial impact in our 185 division". [7]
Later, Tešanović signed to participate in his debut for the promotion. His opponent was named as Mike Bernhard, with the fight taking place at Bellator 34. [8] Tešanović's previous seven fights [1] have been held in Bulgaria, [9] Serbia [10] [11] [12] [13] and Slovenia, [14] [15] making his Bellator 34 fight in Hollywood, Florida [8] his North American debut.
