The UFC has officially announced an event scheduled for August 1 in Serbia, marking a significant occasion for the region's growing MMA fanbase. Three fighters with Serbian connections are currently on the roster, making the card a natural showcase for local talent.
Aleksandar Rakic, nicknamed "Rocket," holds a 14-6-0 professional record and is ranked sixth in the light heavyweight division. The 34-year-old Austrian fighter competes out of Gym 23 and stands six-foot-four with a 78-inch reach. He lands 4.13 significant strikes per minute at 50 percent accuracy, making him one of the more technically polished strikers in the 205-pound weight class.
Uros Medic, known as "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 has shown impressive output, landing 5.59 significant strikes per minute at a 60 percent accuracy rate — among the higher marks in his division.
Dusko Todorovic, "Thunder," is the lone fighter on the trio who calls Serbia home. The 32-year-old holds a 13-6-0 record and competes with Secutor. Standing six-foot-one with a 74-inch reach, Todorovic blends striking — 4.73 significant strikes per minute at 57 percent accuracy — with a meaningful grappling presence, averaging 1.77 takedowns per 15 minutes.
Why it matters
- Serbia represents an emerging UFC market, and a home event creates rare promotional stakes for regional fighters
- Rakic's sixth-place divisional ranking means any opponent assigned to him carries light heavyweight title implications
- Medic's high striking accuracy makes him a compelling matchup against any top-fifteen contender
- All three fighters sit in competitive positions within their divisions, giving the card genuine sporting weight beyond local interest
