The UFC has announced an event scheduled for August 1st in Serbia, with Aleksandar Rakic and Uros Medic both expected to compete on the card alongside fellow Serbian Dusko Todorovic.
Rakic, 34, is one of the more recognizable names on the bill. Fighting out of Austria under the Gym 23 banner, the orthodox striker 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 August card is expected to mark his debut at heavyweight, a move that would represent a significant shift in his career trajectory.
Medic enters the event described as carrying momentum. The 33-year-old southpaw, who competes out of Kings MMA, carries a 13-3-0 record and has drawn attention for his high-volume, accurate striking — 5.59 significant strikes per minute at 60 percent accuracy, among the sharper numbers in his weight class. Standing six-foot-one with a 71-inch reach, he is expected to face a top-15 opponent, though no specific matchup has been confirmed.
Todorovic, nicknamed "Thunder," rounds out the Serbian trio on the roster. The 32-year-old holds a 13-6-0 record and is a well-rounded threat, averaging 1.77 takedowns per 15 minutes to go along with 4.73 significant strikes per minute at 57 percent accuracy.
Why it matters
- Rakic's potential heavyweight debut could reshape his divisional standing and open a new chapter in his career
- Medic's expected top-15 matchup positions him as a rising contender worth watching closely
- A Serbia-based card gives all three fighters a significant home-crowd atmosphere
- The headliner has not yet been officially named, leaving the card's top billing still to be determined
