The UFC recently announced a card in Serbia scheduled for August 1. Currently, three fighters represent Serbia in the UFC roster: Dusko Todorovic (4-6 UFC), Uros Medic (7-3 UFC), and Aleksandar Rakic (6-5 UFC). The post suggests that fans will definitely see Aleksandar Rakic's debut at heavyweight on this card. It's also expected that Uros Medic will face someone from the top 15 rankings. The post asks fans to speculate on potential opponents for each Serbian fighter and who should headline the event.
The UFC has reportedly announced a card set for August 1 in Serbia, and early reports suggest all three Serbian-heritage fighters currently on the roster could feature on the bill. None of the matchups have been officially confirmed, and details surrounding the event remain unverified at this stage.
Aleksandar Rakic, known as "Rocket," is reportedly set to make his heavyweight debut on the card. The 34-year-old Austrian fights out of Gym 23 and holds a 14-6-0 professional record, currently sitting sixth in the UFC light heavyweight rankings. Standing six-foot-four with a 78-inch reach, Rakic is a high-output striker who lands 4.13 significant strikes per minute at 50 percent accuracy. The move to heavyweight, if confirmed, would mark a significant career shift.
Uros Medic, nicknamed "The Doctor," carries a 13-3-0 record and trains out of Kings MMA in the United States. The 33-year-old southpaw stands six-foot-one with a 71-inch reach and produces some of the sharpest striking numbers among his peers, landing 5.59 significant strikes per minute at an impressive 60 percent accuracy. Reports suggest Medic could be matched against a top-15 opponent, though no name has been attached to the booking.
Dusko Todorovic, the lone Serbian national among the three, rounds out the group. "Thunder" holds a 13-6-0 record and fights out of Secutor at 32 years old. He is a well-rounded threat, posting 4.73 significant strikes per minute at 57 percent accuracy while also averaging 1.77 takedowns per 15 minutes.
Why it matters
- A home-nation card creates rare headline pressure for fighters with regional ties to the Balkans
- Rakic's reported move to heavyweight could reshape his trajectory after a difficult stretch at light heavyweight
- A top-15 test for Medic would be the biggest ranking-stakes bout of his UFC career to date
- Todorovic's role on the card remains unclear, leaving his placement and opponent open to speculation
