The UFC recently announced an event in Serbia scheduled for August 1st. Currently, there are three Serbian fighters on the UFC roster: Dusko Todorovic (4-6 UFC), Uros Medic (7-3 UFC), and Aleksandar Rakic (6-5 UFC). The post speculates that the event will definitely feature Aleksandar Rakic's heavyweight debut and a bout for Uros Medic against a top-15 opponent. Fans are being asked to predict potential opponents for each Serbian fighter and which fighter should headline the card.
The UFC has officially announced it will hold an event in Serbia on August 1st, marking what figures to be a significant homecoming moment for Serbian fighters on the roster. Three competitors with ties to the country are currently signed to the promotion, setting up what could be a nationally charged card.
Aleksandar Rakic, known as "Rocket," is the highest-profile name among the trio. The 34-year-old Austrian representing Gym 23 holds a 14-6-0 overall record and sits at number six in the light heavyweight divisional rankings. Standing six-foot-four with a 78-inch reach, Rakic lands 4.13 significant strikes per minute at 50 percent accuracy. He carries a 6-5 mark inside the UFC octagon.
Uros Medic, nicknamed "The Doctor," competes out of Kings MMA and brings a 13-3-0 record into 2026. The 33-year-old American-based southpaw is a volume striker, landing 5.59 significant strikes per minute at an impressive 60 percent accuracy. Standing six-foot-one with a 71-inch reach, Medic holds a 7-3 UFC record and has not yet registered a submission attempt across his octagon appearances.
Dusko Todorovic is the only Serbian-born fighter of the three, competing under the nickname "Thunder" for team Secutor. The 32-year-old carries a 13-6-0 record and a 4-6 UFC ledger. At six-foot-one with a 74-inch reach, he is the most active wrestler of the group, averaging 1.77 takedowns per 15 minutes, and lands 4.73 significant strikes per minute at 57 percent accuracy.
Why it matters
- Rakic at number six in light heavyweight gives the card an instant main event candidate with divisional stakes attached
- Todorovic and Medic both sit on the edge of the top tier in their respective divisions, making opponent selection critical for each
- A Serbian crowd behind all three fighters could create one of the more electric European atmospheres in recent UFC history
- The matchmaking decisions for this card will directly shape the divisional trajectories of all three men heading into the second half of 2026
