The UFC has officially announced an event in Serbia set for August 1st, and the promotion's three Serbian-born fighters on the current roster are already drawing attention as the card takes shape.
Aleksandar Rakic, known as "Rocket," holds a 14-6-0 professional record and is currently ranked sixth in the light heavyweight division. The 34-year-old fights out of Austria under the Gym 23 banner and brings a physically imposing frame to the cage at six-foot-four with a 78-inch reach. He lands 4.13 significant strikes per minute at 50 percent accuracy. The UFC has indicated he may make a heavyweight debut at this event, a move that would mark a significant shift in his career trajectory.
Uros Medic, nicknamed "The Doctor," carries a 13-3-0 record and competes at a division yet to be specified in the announcement. The 33-year-old southpaw fights out of Kings MMA and is based in the United States. Medic has been one of the more efficient strikers in his weight class, landing 5.59 significant strikes per minute at an impressive 60 percent accuracy. He is described as currently on a strong run of form, and there is speculation he could be matched against a top-15 opponent.
Dusko Todorovic, "Thunder," rounds out the Serbian trio at 13-6-0 overall. The 32-year-old from Serbia trains with Secutor and stands six-foot-one with a 74-inch reach. He is a well-rounded fighter who averages 1.77 takedowns per 15 minutes alongside 4.73 significant strikes per minute at 57 percent accuracy.
Why it matters
- A home-nation card gives all three fighters a potential crowd advantage in front of Serbian fans
- Rakic's possible heavyweight debut would shake up two divisions simultaneously
- Medic's rumored top-15 matchup could thrust him into genuine title contention depending on the opponent selected
- Todorovic's role on the card remains undefined, leaving an open question about the full lineup
