The UFC has announced its first-ever event in Serbia, scheduled for August 1st, with three fighters of Serbian heritage currently on the roster serving as the natural centerpiece of fan discussion around the card.
Aleksandar Rakic, nicknamed "Rocket," carries the highest profile of the trio. The 34-year-old Austrian competes at light heavyweight, where he holds the number six ranking with an overall record of 14-6-0. Standing six-foot-four with a 78-inch reach, Rakic lands 4.13 significant strikes per minute at 50 percent accuracy. The summary speculates he could make a heavyweight debut at this event, though that has not been officially confirmed by the promotion.
Uros Medic, known as "The Doctor," fights out of Kings MMA and holds a 13-3-0 record. The 33-year-old American southpaw is one of the more active strikers in his division, landing 5.59 significant strikes per minute at an impressive 60 percent accuracy. Reports suggest Medic is expected to face a top-15 opponent on the card, and fan sentiment appears to favor him as the potential headliner given his current form.
Dusko Todorovic rounds out the Serbian contingent. The 32-year-old carries a 13-6-0 record and trains with Secutor. 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 solid striking output of 4.73 significant strikes per minute at 57 percent accuracy. As the only fighter in the group who holds Serbian nationality, his inclusion adds a local dimension to the event.
