The UFC recently announced an event in Serbia scheduled for August 1. The UFC roster currently includes three Serbian fighters: Dusko Todorovic (4-6 UFC), Uros Medic (7-3 UFC), and Aleksandar Rakic (6-5 UFC). The post suggests fans will definitely see Aleksandar Rakic's debut at heavyweight and Uros Medic facing someone from the top 15. The channel asks readers to speculate on opponents for each Serbian fighter and who should headline the card, with poll options favoring either Medic (who is on a roll) or Rakic (who is more well-known).
The UFC has officially announced an event in Serbia set for August 1, with all three Serbian fighters on the roster — Aleksandar Rakic, Uros Medic, and Dusko Todorovic — expected to compete on the card.
Rakic, known as "Rocket," is the most prominent name attached to the event. The 34-year-old Austrian of Serbian descent holds a 14-6-0 professional record and is currently ranked sixth in the light heavyweight division. Standing six-foot-four with a 78-inch reach, he lands 4.13 significant strikes per minute at 50 percent accuracy. The promotion is billing the event as the stage for Rakic's debut at heavyweight, which would mark a significant career move for one of the division's more established contenders.
Uros Medic, nicknamed "The Doctor," brings a 13-3-0 record into the card and trains out of Kings MMA. The 33-year-old southpaw is based in the United States and has drawn attention for his sharp striking output — 5.59 significant strikes per minute at a 60 percent accuracy rate, among the more efficient numbers in the UFC's roster. The announcement indicates Medic is being targeted for a matchup against an opponent from the top fifteen of his division.
Dusko Todorovic rounds out Serbia's representation on the card. The 32-year-old carries a 13-6-0 record and fights out of the Secutor team. Standing six-foot-one with a 74-inch reach, "Thunder" is a well-rounded fighter who averages 1.77 takedowns per 15 minutes alongside a respectable 4.73 significant strikes landed per minute at 57 percent accuracy.
Why it matters
- Rakic's reported move to heavyweight could reshape his career trajectory and open a new contender lane in that division
- Medic's potential top-15 matchup would be a meaningful step-up test for a fighter clearly trending upward
- Todorovic fighting in his home country adds a notable crowd dynamic to what shapes up as a strong regional showcase for Serbian MMA
